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 too highly variable in content, purpose, and format to track in this database. I generally do not list generic stock transfers unless they have pre-printed company names.

Occasionally, stock transfers were recorded on separate forms supplied by railroad companies. Most transfer forms resemble ordinary business receipts, about the size of today’s paper money. Stock transfers were rarely larger and more ornate.

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 the pre-printed name of a railroad company.
