Are the certificates authentic?

Yes, all of the certificates we sell are authentic stock and bond certificates unless otherwise mentioned in the description. At one point in time, this certificate represented a share of of the company, or a bond receipt. These certificates have been removed from circulation and digitalized, as seen by cancellation holes, stamps and writing on the certificate. We offer these certificates as a collectable item, not a security.  

 

This is a Blue American Crayon Company stock certificate from 1944. Vignette has the mark of  the famous geyser in Yellowstone, "Old Faithful". It has a line of dried adhesive glue down the left side, with small cancellation holes present. 

The American Crayon Company was established in 1885 in Sandusky, Ohio, by Louis Prang and Edward Packard, initially as the American Crayon and Slate Company. The company became renowned for its high-quality crayons, chalks, and other educational supplies, earning a significant place in American classrooms. Over the years, American Crayon expanded its product line and distribution, becoming a staple in the educational sector. 

The company went public in the early 20th century, enabling it to grow and adapt to the changing educational needs of the time. Throughout its history, American Crayon underwent various mergers and acquisitions, which helped it maintain its market presence and provide supplies to schools across the country. The stock certificates from American Crayon Company not only represent shares in a historic company but also symbolize the legacy of American education and the tools that supported generations of learning.

Here are some quick tips to preserve your certificate for decades to come.

Most of these vintage collectable certificates have signs of used & wear , cancellation holes, pencil / pen writing, stamps, staples, adhesives, slight rips, missing coupons and other features. 

Handling: Always handle the certificate with clean, dry hands or use cotton gloves to avoid transferring oils and dirt from your skin onto the paper.

Storage: Store the certificate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Use acid-free folders or archival-quality plastic sleeves to protect it from moisture, dust, and physical damage.
