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 listing includes color variants of an original stock certificate from Remington Rand Inc dated 1950. Available in brown, rose, and a two-color combination, each featuring a vignette of a classical allegorical female figure in flowing robes seated beside industrial and nautical elements, representing commerce and industry.

These certificates were issued and shows multiple punch holes throughout the certificate face, indicating it was redeemed. The cancellation markings and age-appropriate handling wear give this piece the character of an actively traded security from the early computer age. You will receive a similar certificate to the one shown.

In 1951, Norwalk, Connecticut was home to one of America's most ambitious technology companies and James H. Rand Jr. all in on the idea that machines that could think.

Remington Rand had been formed in 1927 through Rand's audacious merger of the Remington Typewriter Company and his family's Rand Kardex Corporation, creating a $60 million office equipment giant. By 1951, Rand was racing IBM to deliver America's first commercial computer, the UNIVAC I, which would famously predict Eisenhower's 1952 presidential victory on live television when human pollsters called it wrong.

The company's Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation division, acquired in 1950, brought the brilliant engineers who had built ENIAC, the room-sized calculator that helped win World War II. Rand himself was a visionary who understood that punch cards and filing cabinets were just the beginning of an information revolution.

Technology certificates from the early computer era remain highly sought after by collectors, representing the pivotal moment when American business began its transition into the digital age. Offered as a collectible.
