<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2053232, member: 19065&quot;]Here&#039;s an American Bank Note Company, New York printed gold bond for The Ocean Shore Railway Company. It&#039;s a small &quot;coupon&quot; size piece measuring about 1.5&quot;x3.5&quot;. Dated for November 1st 1933, good for $25 in gold coin payable in San Francisco or New York.</p><p><br /></p><p>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, <b><a href="http://sanfranciscotrains.org/ocean-shore.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://sanfranciscotrains.org/ocean-shore.html" rel="nofollow">here</a></b>.

Any info or suggestions are appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really admire the signature as well as the simple pretty little vignette.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
