Collectible Stocks and Bonds from North American Railroads

Certificates needed
 

 

Examples of certificates needed

There are many certificates that dealers consider too common to photograph. Yet, because dealers do not illustrate them in catalogs and price lists, varieties go undiscovered for years.

Here I will post a list of companies that I specifically NEED to see more certificates from. A few may be scarce, but for the most part, they will be quite common.

This is why I say that even beginners can help. I cannot impress upon you enough - beginners very often have varieties of certificates that I have never seen.

Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Equipment Trust. I currently only know about three different bonds, but I know there were at least 25 different series. Maybe many more. Any copies of equipment trusts will be most appreciated.

Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago & St Louis Railway Co.  I need copies of any stock, any date. I suspect that we will find sub-varieties dependent on the printed portion of dates, CUSIP numbers, and denominations.

Pennsylvania Railroad Co. I need copies of any bonds that show the Penn Central station. This is currently a very confusing series of bonds.

Seaboard Coast Line Railroad Equipment Trust. Seven varieties out of an unknown number of series are currently known. I need any example you can send. 

Southern Railway Equipment Trust. A sufficient number of new bonds have appeared in the last few months to indicate there should be a lot more waiting to be found, with variations primarily in the series designations and the redemption dates. I can definitely use a copy of any one of these you might have. Please do not assume I have seen your certificate before.
