Beautiful stocks and bonds

Lol, God said it first. And Tesla did it imho. The guy invented wireless electricity, that wasnt harmful, we still dont have that because edison/morgan burned his house down with most of his work and the prototype for global wireless energy.

I'm not sure who you're claiming "invented" wireless electricity. No one invented electricity. In Japan (and probably here, by now), you can charge devices with electromagnetic fields. I'm guessing it's not exactly new technology, it's probably just a case of very low efficiency.

 

well basically tesla was going to give electricity away for free, like it was something that was given. And your talking short range electric charging. He was able to have an even charge across a large area, steadily not interaction w/human bodies. If we had it, there would be no utility companies so no we dont lol. Not on the scale he was working with.

We are using much more dangerous field strengths than he was working with. We still havent figured it out...... We are getting close tho

he had transmission at long distances which still hasnt been replicated to this day. so i consider that as close to inventor, perhaps discoverer would be more accurate

 

Soljacic isn't the first man to try to power distant electronic devices by sending electrons through the air. He isn't even the first man from the Balkans to try. Most agree that Serbian inventor Nikola Tesla, who went on to father many of the inventions that define the modern electronic era, was the first to let electrons off their leash, in 1890.

Tesla based his wireless electricity idea on a concept known as electromagnetic induction, which was discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831 and holds that electric current flowing through one wire can induce current to flow in another wire, nearby. To illustrate that principle, Tesla built two huge "World Power" towers that would broadcast current into the American air, to be received remotely by electrical devices around the globe.

Since the topic for the moment is banking, here's a letter to the Rothschild Freres bank in Paris, written in 1861. It's not a stock or a bond, but I figured some might enjoy it.

 

Love it, i really want a L. F. Rothschild bond or stock cert. Would also like a Nathan Biddle Morgan stock cert. Ok im dreaming check this one out.

 

I saved that, because i dont think its supposed to be seen by anyone, the mere understaanding of the reality that shares in the fed have been one of the biggest drivers of bank acquisitions since the fed, would surely bring pitchforks, and sex in central park in the name of debt free currency lol

 

I haven't bought many stock certificates, but recently picked this up with some other things.

International Train Pipe Corporation. 24 shares/$10ea., Dated: 19 October 1927

Here's an American Bank Note Company, New York printed gold bond for The Ocean Shore Railway Company. It's a small "coupon" size piece measuring about 1.5"x3.5". Dated for November 1st 1933, good for $25 in gold coin payable in San Francisco or New York.

This railway has a very interesting history, which was greatly impacted by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake around the outset of construction and development. More about the company and this history can be read about online, here. And more info plus photos, here.





I am uncertain and would like to know more about what the significance of "56" is on the face and back. Any info or suggestions are appreciated.

I really admire the signature as well as the simple pretty little vignette.

 

Honestly, I appreciate the history and the art, and furthermore my passion is investing, im glad my hobby is so cheap, sold 1 bill grade 25 recently, 1/4 of bill value bought my whole stock/bond collection of 50+ many from 1800s. Lovin it

 

I wish I could get a jp morgan sig, or rothschild, but they already atronomical, when hobby was dead.

What you've got here is a bearer bond coupon, #56 out of the sheet, to be exact. Bonds usually paid interest quarterly ($25 in this case), so four times a year the company would clip these off the coupon sheet(s) which were attached to the bond. There were usually 33 coupons on a full sheet. For the long-term bonds there were sometimes 2-3 pages of coupons. If you want to do the math, divide 56 by 4, subtract it from 1933 and you'll see what year the bond was issued.

I have to offer my opinion on these -- I would stay away from the single coupons. They can usually be bought with the original bonds and some dealers have taken to snipping up the sheets and selling them individually. They have very little value, if any, by themselves. The only coupons that might have real collector value would be from early Treasury bonds, where sometimes only the coupons survive. But commercial bond coupons are *extremely* common. Just my two cents.

 

Thank you! I very much appreciate the information and advice (opinion). In fact, I was cautious when I considered this item and could see the trimmed edge, not wanting to buy clipped pieces. Before buying I did go and look online for other material from this company to see how much was out there, or if selling recently and couldn't turn up much beside information about the company as linked to above. You may know/recall how I dislike those who take scissors to ABNCo archive portfolio sheets, for example, and sell them in individual eBay listings. Grrrr! I also checked out the dealer, who sells some numismatic material, but this appeared to be (and does in hand) an old cut. How old, I cannot say, but I didn't feel this one suffered from a recent/modern cut job and hoped instead it was an actual old piece that was trimmed out when the company would have issued this coupon.

I am surprised the coupons are this large and each sheet numbered uniquely on it's entire back and again stamped on the face, referring to the #56. Thanks for the details.

 

When I get back to my scanner I'll post a full page of bond coupons, front and back.
