  Stock transfers  

 

Please note: Thousands of "stock transfers" are known with handwritten railroad company names. Most were partially printed generic forms created by thousands of ordinary print shops and stationers. Some documents like this may be very scarce and historic. However, they are too highly variable in content, purpose, and format to track in this database. I generally stock transfers only when they have pre-printed company names.

Because most transfers are very plain, they usually attract limited collector interest.

I catalog stock transfers only when they:

  • could be mistaken for ordinary stocks or bonds, or
  • carry pre-printed names of railroad companies.
