Warrants
In the railroad collecting hobby, "warrants" refer to two distinctly different collectibles.
The
most common types of warrants were checks issued by railroad companies.
They may or may not be labeled "warrants." There are tens of
thousands of such warrants available for check collectors from thousands of railroad companies. If
you are interested in collecting checks, I recommend the American
Society of Check Collectors. Visit the society's web
site.
Warrants that resemble checks are NOT covered in this guidebook.
The text on most coupon bonds refers to attached coupons as "warrants." Coupons are NOT covered in this guidebook.
Conversely,
I DO catalog warrants that resemble
ordinary stock certificates. They are often burdened with voluminous
text explaining their exact purposes. In general, they represented dividend
payments or interest payments. Many were redeemable only by purchasing more company stocks or bonds.
I strongly recommend buying the Cox Catalog 3rd Edition from your favorite
SCRIPOPHILY DEALER.
If they do not carry, or are out of stock, you may buy directly from me. Simply click the buy button below.
