Description: Vintage 1930s - 1950s Pennsylvania Railroad "Pennsy" Stock Certificate, Green, USA Icon! 12" x 8" ~ Little to no wear. This unique stock, famously known throughout the Monopoly game, is a privilege to own. It's an exceptional certificate from an American Icon that has shaped history! The Pennsylvania Railroad, affectionately known as the 'Pennsy,' was more than just a railroad. It was an American Class I railroad established in 1846 and headquartered in Philadelphia. Named after the commonwealth in which it was established, the Pennsylvania Railroad was a significant part of American history. At its peak in 1882, it was the largest railroad, transportation enterprise, and corporation globally, a testament to its historical importance. This unique stock certificate is a tangible piece of that rich history. Imagine the excitement of displaying this vintage historic collectible on your wall as home decor in any room! Stock certificates, like this one, are a limited supply. They become even more challenging to acquire once they are part of museums and collections. They are not just historical documents but also potential future investments. The first stock certificate was issued in 1606 by the Dutch East India Company. Four hundred seven years of history later, the Walt Disney Company issued one of the last paper stock certificates from a major corporation in 2013. The future value of this rare piece is a tantalizing prospect for potential investors. My pictures seriously don't do it justice. These had to be done on heavy paper stock, almost like a dollar bill, but stiffer and more durable, making them stay vibrant and new for a long time. The other unique thing about stock certificates is their variety of exciting signatures, from the company President and Secretary to other historical figures. Some collectors research these signatures, adding significant provenance and value to an already valuable item. I have never done this as I can barely read my signature, let alone one from over 100 years ago, and the time it would take to do thousands of certificates, my mother and I decided years ago not to bother.
