This is a $10,000 State of New York World War Bonus Bond, issued in 1924 and maturing in 1943. It features raised embossed seals, cancellation holes, and handwritten signatures. The bond was transferred to William K. Vanderbilt, a prominent member of the Vanderbilt family.
Authorized by a 1924 constitutional amendment, these bonds were part of New York State’s initiative to provide financial bonuses to honorably discharged World War I veterans who were residents at the time of their enlistment. The program was a response to public pressure for veteran compensation and was funded through the issuance of high-denomination bonds like this one. William K. Vanderbilt, along with Harold S. Vanderbilt and Frederick W. Vanderbilt, served as trustees for such bonds, reflecting the family’s continued involvement in public and philanthropic affairs.
This bond certificate, printed by the American Bank Note Company, showcases intricate engravings, including the New York State seal, and is hand-signed by state officials. The presence of cancellation holes and official stamps indicates its redemption upon maturity. For collectors and historians, this bond represents a tangible connection to post-World War I American history and the state’s efforts to honor its veterans.
You will receive a certificate similar to the one shown in the photos. Each is an original issued bond from 1924, featuring unique elements such as raised seals, cancellation holes, and handwritten signatures. Condition may vary slightly, but all are authentic documents representing a piece of New York State’s financial and military history.
