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 stock certificate from Dillingham Corporation, issued in 1970. It features a vignette of a man in front of a cityscape and is registered in Hawaii. Cancellation holes present. 

The Dillingham Corporation was founded in 1864 in Honolulu, Hawaii, and originally operated as a construction and engineering firm. Over the years, it expanded its operations into various sectors, including real estate development and transportation. The company went public in 1968, listing its shares on the New York Stock Exchange. Dillingham Corporation played a significant role in shaping Hawaii's infrastructure and economy through its construction projects, including highways, airports, and hotels. However, facing financial challenges in the 1980s due to economic downturns and overleveraging, Dillingham Corporation filed for bankruptcy in 1994, marking the end of its long-standing presence in Hawaii's business landscape.
