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.

Materials and care

Here are some quick tips to preserve your certificate for decades to come. 

Paper quality: Stock certificates were printed on a variety of certificate paper dating back to the mid 1800s. Most of these vintage collectable certificates have signs of used & wear , cancellation holes, pencil / pen writing, stamps, staples, adhesives, slight rips, missing coupons and other features. 

Handling: Always handle the certificate with clean, dry hands or use cotton gloves to avoid transferring oils and dirt from your skin onto the paper.

Storage: Store the certificate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Use acid-free folders or archival-quality plastic sleeves to protect it from moisture, dust, and physical damage.

Framing: If displaying the certificate, use a frame with UV-protective glass to prevent light damage. Ensure the certificate is mounted using acid-free materials to avoid any chemical reactions that could degrade the paper over time.

Avoid Exposure: Keep the certificate away from direct sun, extreme temperatures and humidity, which can cause the paper to warp or deteriorate. Avoid exposing it to pollutants, such as smoke or chemicals, which can cause discoloration.
