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 $1,000 Air Terminal Revenue Bond from The Port of New York Authority, dated 1950. Printed in blue and black with classic mid-century typography, the certificate features engraved vignettes of aircraft, hangars, and infrastructure. It includes cancellation holes and reflects the era’s investment in postwar aviation and airport development across the New York metropolitan area.
The Port of New York Authority—now known as the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey—was responsible for major transportation infrastructure, including LaGuardia, Idlewild (now JFK), and Newark Airport. Bonds like this were issued to fund terminal expansions, runway construction, and modern aviation facilities as air travel boomed in the postwar years.
This bond offers a tangible connection to the golden age of American aviation and New York infrastructure planning. You will receive a certificate similar to the one shown. Each is an original, issued bond from 1950 with slight variations in condition.
