<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2357638, member: 24274&quot;]I picked up a new beauty for a good price this week. This is an unissued stock certificate for the Erie &amp; Ohio Rail Road. Note this railroad was owned by the Franklin Canal Company, which, I&#039;m guessing was diversifying before railroads made canals obsolete.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although it&#039;s undated, it was printed somewhere between 1848-50 by Durand, Baldwin &amp; Co, a short-lived bank note company that only existed a few years. This has the look and feel of an obsolete bank note, including the onion skin paper. Typically railroad stocks had a locomotive as the central vignette. This stock has a small one but the largest is an allegorical vignette with a canal boat and tall ships in the background. I&#039;m happy to add this one to my collection!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]480548[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]480549[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]480550[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
