Florida State Seal

Collectible Stocks and Bonds from North American Railroads
by Terry Cox

Florida

Became territory: March 30, 1822
Became state: March 3, 1845

Like some western states, many of Florida's certificates originate from only a few large, relatively modern companies. Florida is important among collectors of Southern states' material, so it is not possible to collect a large number of different varieties; there just is not enough to go around. Currently, the Florida state seal has never been recorded on railroad certificates, although some almost certainly should have been issued.
