    Nice mining stock with a nice vignette of three classical male figures with lab and industrial tools. Issued and cancelled. Dated 1951. Rückseitig in Tinte eigenhändig signiert vom Direktor G.W.T. HALL. The Company was founded following the discovery of copper deposits in Sudbury, Ontario. Initially, ore was shipped for smelting to a plant in Constable Hook, New Jersey, owned by the Orford Copper Company. Processing soon revealed that the ore was also rich in nickel and exploration tests revealed an enormous potential. In 1902 the International Nickel Company, Ltd. (INCO) was created in New York, NY as a joint venture between Canadian Copper, Orford Copper, and American Nickel Works. In 1916, the International Nickel Company of Canada, Ltd. was incorporated as the operating company in Copper Cliff in Sudbury, and in 1918 the company built a new refinery in Port Colborne. The International Nickel Company of Canada, Ltd., first began using the trade name Inco in 1919. In 1929, the corporation expanded by absorbing the British-owned Mond Nickel Company. A head office was established in Toronto. During World War II, Inco's Frood Mine produced 40% of the nickel used in artillery by the Allies. Inco also maintained a machining plant located in Sterling Forest, New York. The Sterling Forest Site was sold and is now owned and occupied by International Business Machines. In 1972 the Inco Superstack was built in Sudbury. In 1976, the company?s name was officially changed to Inco Limited. In order to generate cash Inco sold its manufacturing sites of nickel alloys to Special Metals Corporation in 1998. Special Metals Corporation however filed Chapter 11 in March 2002. On October 11, 2005, Inco announced a friendly takeover bid to buy out the operations of longtime rival Falconbridge for $12 billion. If approved, the deal would have made Inco the world's largest producer of nickel. Xstrata subsequently submitted a hostile takeover bid for Falconbridge, resulting in a bidding war between Inco and Xstrata. The Xstrata bid was successful, but not before Falconbridge employed a poison pill to delay the acquisition. Teck Cominco submitted a hostile takeover bid to purchase Inco on May 8, 2006 for $16 billion if it agreed to abandon its takeover of Falconbridge. On June 26 of the same year, Phelps Dodge submitted a friendly takeover bid to purchase a combined Inco and Falconbridge for around $40 billion; that offer was also withdrawn because of the failure of the Inco-Falconbridge merger. On August 14, 2006 Brazilian mining company CVRD extended an all-cash offer to buy Inco for $17 billion. That offer received approval from the Canadian government's investment review agency on October 19, and was accepted by Inco shareholders on October 23. Part of the takeover deal was that CVRD would operate Inco as a separate nickel mining division; all of CVRD's nickel operations, including mines at Onca Puma and Vermelho in Brazil, were transferred to Inco's management. Inco was delisted from the NYSE on November 16, 2006 and the TSX on January 5, 2007. According to its current web site, Inco is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Vale (formerly CVRD). Vale has since changed the name of Vale-Inco to simply Vale, stating the change is "a milestone that aligns it more fully with other Vale operations worldwide and reflects its position as part of the world?s second largest mining company".

    Datum: March 1929 Nennwert: 100 $ - 100 Shares Branche: Tabak Topoptik, alte Version der ABN Firmensitz: Syracuse, New York, USA Wertpapier Typ: Namensaktie Wertpapier Art: Stammaktie Größe in cm ca.: 20 x 30 Entwertet: ja, Lochungen Erhaltung: 2-3, gut, *US-typisch gebraucht Druckerei: American Bank Note Company Issued and cancelled. Dated March 1929. Rückseitig mit 4 Stock Transfer-Briefmarken. Vorderseitig eigenhändig signiert vom Vice-President und Assistant Secretary. Tobacco Products Corporation Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts gründeten die Brüder George J. und C.A. Whelan die U nited Cigar Stores Co. in Syracuse, New York. 1902 traten sie in eine geheime Absprache mit B u ck Duke, der zufolge sich American Tobacco maßgeblich an ihr beteiligte. Nach deren Auflösung wurde U nited Cigar Stores wieder unabhängig. George Whelan reorganisierte sie zur U nited Cigar Stores Co. o f America, die er 1912 zum Kern seiner frisch gegründeten Tobacco Products machte. 1919 gliederte er sie wieder aus und brachte sie zusammen mit weiteren Ladenketten unter das Dach seiner im gleichen Jahr gegründeten Holding namens UnitedRetail Stores Corp., in der interessanterweise B u ck Duke einen Aufsichtsratposten bekleidete ! George Whelan hatte die Tobacco Products Corporation 1912 unter dem Gesetz von Virginia gegründet, mit dem Ziel möglichst viele Tabakfirmen zu kaufen, deren Produkte dann in den Läden der United Cigar Stores bevorzugte Behandlung erfuhren. 1919 gelang es ihm, die noch kleine aber profitable Philip Morris aufzukaufen. Er gründete gleichzeitig als reine Ladengeschäftshol ding die oben beschriebene United Retail Stores, in die er entsprechende Gesellschaften wie Utd Cigar Stores überführte und behielt die Produktionsgesellschaften wie Melachrino und Philip Morris unter dem Dach der Tobacco Products. Whelan machte Melachrinos Reuhen Elliszum zum Präsidenten von Philip Morris und ließ ihn die alte Marlbo ro (ugh) als Damenzigarette ("Mild as May") im Markt vorantreiben. Doch wenige Monate vor dem großen Kurseinbruch an Wall Street, kündigten die Banken die Kredite und Tobacco Products ging im Juni 1929 in Konkurs. Philip Morris wurde selbständig. 1932 wurde die alte Holding, deren Aktien weiter an der Börse gehandelt wurden, als Tobacco Products Corporation of Delaware reorganisiert. Doch 1937 war United Cigar Stores Co. of America abgespalten als United Cigar-Whelan Stores Corp. etabliert worden. 1943 betrieb sie 264 Tabakläden und 177 Drug Stores, 1948 waren es respektive 141 und 194. Die Umsätze waren in diesem Zeitraum von $64mio auf $75mio gestiegen. 1960 erweiterte die Gesellschaft ihr Angebot mit Kosmetik, Spirituosen und Oberbekleidung und nannte sich United Whelan Corporation. Ihre Lagerhäuser befanden sich in den Schwerpunkten ihrer Verkaufsaktivitäten: Brooklyn (NY), Chicago (Illinois), Miami (Florida) und Los Angeles (Kalifornien). 1966 fusionierte sie mit Perfect Photo, Hudson National und Equality Plastics, Inc. zur neuen Perfect Film & Chemical Corporation , was durch reinen Aktientausch finanziert wurde. Nach wie vor blieb das Tabakgeschäft jedoch dominant, wobei Filmentwicklung und Photozubehör als neuer Geschäftzweig forciert wurden. Übrigens kaufte die Gesellschaft ein Jahr darauf die berühmte und traditionsreiche Pathe Laboratories für $3,7mio und einer Mischung von Aktien, Vorzugsaktien und Optionsscheinen der Perfect Film & Chemical Corp.

    Printed stock certificate, completed in manuscript, certifying that L. Becker was entitled to one share of five hundred dollars of the capital stock of the Texas Star Flour Mills. Signed in ink by Gus. Reymershoffer, Secretary, and J. Reymershoffer, President, January 8, 1881. Single sheet, 21 x 31 cm., printed in various sizes and styles of type, with "$500" overprinted in blue, and a five point star printed in blue and gold, with company blindstamp over the star, vignette of a young woman carrying a sheaf of wheat. Perforated tear sheet edge at left margin (browned), and two small holes punched in left decorative border, small hole from ink burn at lower margin. A manuscript note on the verso, signed by L. Becker, assigning this share to Louis Schneider, March 4, 1881. The Texas Star Flour Mills was founded by Gustav and John Reymershoffer in 1879, and was the largest plant of its kind, capable of milling 125 barrels of flour a day. The brothers arrived in Galveston with their parents, Czech immigrants, in 1855. The family lived in various places in Texas before settling again in Galveston after the Civil War. The brothers were involved in several enterprises in the city, as well as the political scene, and built themselves a pair of mansions side by side in downtown Galveston. The flour mill suffered some minor damage from a storm in 1900 and was demolished in about 1974. [see: Katherine Adams article "The Reymershoffers: A Family Whose Presence Brought Great Benefit to Galveston," in the Galveston Monthly Magazine online, 2021; and an entry on the company at the Rosenberg Library, Galveston].

    Studebaker-Packard Corporation and Studebaker-Worthington, Inc. Two stock certificates documenting successive phases in the corporate history of Studebaker as the company moved from automobile manufacturing into diversified industrial production. Studebaker's 1954 combination with Packard joined two established American automobile manufacturers during an increasingly difficult competitive period, while the later Studebaker-Worthington organization followed the end of Studebaker automobile production and joined its remaining industrial operations with Wagner Electric and Worthington. The certificates preserve the corporate names under which these major reorganizations were presented to shareholders. Two original stock certificates, comprising one Studebaker-Packard Corporation certificate and one Studebaker-Worthington, Inc. certificate, each printed with decorative engraved vignettes and securities typography. Studebaker had begun as a South Bend, Indiana, wagon manufacturer in 1852 before entering automobile production in the early twentieth century. Packard acquired Studebaker in 1954, creating Studebaker-Packard Corporation; Packard automobile production ended in the late 1950s, and the corporate name reverted to Studebaker Corporation in 1962. Studebaker closed its South Bend automobile plant in December 1963 and ended automobile production altogether at Hamilton, Ontario, in March 1966. [1] Studebaker-Packard Corporation. Stock certificate. United States, undated. Issued under the corporate name adopted after the 1954 combination of Studebaker and Packard. The certificate records the period in which the company attempted to maintain both automobile marques while confronting high production costs, intense competition from Ford and General Motors, and worsening financial conditions. [2] Studebaker-Worthington, Inc. Stock certificate. United States, undated. Issued under the name created through the 1967 combination of Studebaker, Wagner Electric, and Worthington Corporation. By this period Studebaker had ceased automobile production and continued through diversified industrial businesses; Studebaker-Worthington remained in operation until its acquisition by McGraw-Edison in 1979. Both certificates are in very good condition. The pair records, through successive corporate identities, Studebaker's transformation from one of the best-known American automobile manufacturers into a diversified industrial company after the end of its car production.

    Condition: GOOD. stock certificate in four shares of stock on one certificate, in good condition, states number 234, dated Dec 21st 1914. On May 1, 1915 Hubbard and his wife Alice boarded a cruise ship in New York bound for Liverpool, England. That ship was the RMS Lusitania. Six days later, a German U- Boat fired a torpedo that hit and sank the luxury liner 11 miles off the Old Head of Kinsale Lighthouse on the southern coast of Ireland. Elbert stoically remarked, "Well, Jack, they have got us. They are a damn sight worse than I ever thought they were." Alice smiled and replied, "There does not seem to be anything to do." Cowper then witnessed the Hubbards return to their room on the boat deck and close the door behind them. Sadly, Elbert and Alice Hubbard were among the 1200+ souls who perished that day their bodies were never recovered. DATE PUBLISHED: 1914 EDITION.

This is stock certificate No. 506, for 5 shares of stock at a par value of $100 each. It was issued to F. O. Brown and appears never to have been redeemed. The Pinkert State Bank, at Cicero, Illinois, was involved in banking transactions with members of the Capone Family, particularly Alphonse and Ralph. In fact, Ralph, who was known as the money man for his brother, Alphonse, had five accounts at the Pinkert Bank ( Al also had a safe deposit box there). Al Capone was arrested just days earlier, 25 February 1931, in Chicago and charged with vagrancy - because he had no visible means of support. A Pinkert employee testified at Al's trial on April 12, 1926, Al Capone had rented a safe deposit box at the bank.

    Western Union International, Inc. stock certificate, 1967, documents the corporate financing of Western Union's international communications business during the transition from traditional telegraphy toward newer telecommunications technologies. Western Union had separated its international cable properties into Western Union International in 1963, and the company became publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange in 1967. The certificate therefore dates to the year of that public listing and records the financial structure supporting an international communications enterprise descended from the nineteenth-century telegraph network. Western Union International, Inc. Stock Certificate. 1967. Series N3669. Engraved and printed by the American Bank Note Company, with an ornate orange border surrounding the principal text and a central vignette depicting two allegorical female figures among clouds. Printed facsimile signatures of the company's President and Secretary appear on the certificate. The document combines corporate ownership information with elaborate security engraving characteristic of American stock certificates, preserving material evidence of Western Union International's capitalization in the year its shares entered public trading. Western Union's nineteenth-century telegraph network had transformed long-distance communication before telephone service increasingly displaced telegram traffic during the twentieth century. Its earlier confrontation with Bell over telephone patents ended with an 1879 settlement under which Western Union withdrew from the telephone business, while telegraphy remained central to American commercial and social communication for decades afterward. By 1967, Western Union International belonged to a communications industry increasingly shaped by telephone, cable, microwave, and other electronic transmission technologies, making this certificate a dated corporate record of that technological transition.
