Olevian Numismatic Rarities
Sports & Entertainment Collection: Set of 6 Stock & Bond Certificates (1920's - 1990's)
Product Description
Throughout history, companies competed to produce the most impressive stock and bond certificates with brilliant colors, intricate designs, and beautiful vignettes. However, with the rise of the internet and online brokerage firms in the 1990s, the need for physical certificates disappeared. One by one, companies quietly discontinued issuance of their paper stocks and bonds. The eventual demise of the stock certificate ends a tradition that extends back at least 400 years, when the Dutch East Indies Company became the first company to issue certificates. Today, the beautiful stock and bond certificates that remain are enduring relics from a bygone era in American financial history.
This collection features 6 vintage stock and bond certificates from the sports and entertainment industry, including some scarcer issues. It includes one stock certificate each from Madison Square Gardens, Monmouth Park Jockey Club, Brandywine Sports, San Juan Racing Association, and the Cleveland Indians Baseball corporation. A scarce corporate bond from the New Haven Arena Company is also included. All certificates date from the 1920s to 1990s.
