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 $200 First Mortgage Bond from the Colonial Timber and Coal Corporation, issued in 1922 and due November 1, 1929. It features a deep brown ornate border, detailed engraving, and a vignette of a seated allegorical figure surrounded by timber and mining tools. Sheet of coupons with a few cut off. No cancellation holes, sold as a collectable.

The Colonial Timber and Coal Corporation operated in the early 20th century with holdings in Gunnison and Saguache Counties, Colorado. The company financed its land, timber, and mineral rights through this secured bond offering. These types of instruments were common among resource development firms looking to attract investors during the post–World War I expansion of American industry.

You will receive a certificate similar to the one shown. Each is an original bond from 1922, featuring bold design and printing detail.
