American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T), founded in 1885 as a subsidiary of American Bell Telephone Company, quickly became a dominant force in telecommunications.

 Initially focused on long-distance telephone service, AT&T grew to control much of the nation's telephone infrastructure through its Bell System monopoly. It pioneered innovations like the transistor and modern telecommunications networks. Facing antitrust actions, AT&T was split up in 1984 into regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs).

Despite this breakup, AT&T maintained its leadership in telecommunications, continuing to innovate in mobile communications and internet services.

This brown certificate is dated 1965, will have cancellation holes and writing may be visible.
