 Mario Boone's 43rd auction
 

I received Mario Boon'es wonderful new catalog a couple days ago. This will be the 43rd Boone auction and will be held in Antwerp, Oct 24 followed by Europe's largest stock and bond bourse the next day.

This sale will again feature a nice selection of U.S. railroad issues (about 55 certificates), including several certificates not commonly seen. My particular favorites include:

  • The Gilpin Tramway Co. (Historic Colorado line near Central City and very hard to find.)
  • Staten Island Rail-Road Co (Featuring a signature by Jacob Vanderbilt.)
  • Union Pacific Railway Co. (1880s 10-share proof.)
  • St Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway Co. (Another hard-to-find issue with a great vignette.)
  • Niagara Falls & Lake Ontario Rail Road Co. (1853 bond featuring a view of Niagara Falls.)

Mario Boone auction catalog 43Contact Mario at The Scripophily Center (0032-(0)-9-386-90-91) for a copy of this full-color catalog as soon as possible. I am not convinced that prices for these rarities is going to get any cheaper.
