AUTHENTIC EARLY STOCK CERTIFICATE. 1926 BURTON CHRISTMAS CORPORATION. Incorporated (in April of 1926) Under the Laws of the State of Texas. Fort Worth, Texas printed beneath the title, on the date line and stamped in the corporate seal. Star in center of seal. Stock certificate issued to F. Collins for 10 shares. I believe this company prospected for oil deposits. Caption beneath picture reads: The Alidade, the Geologist’s Valuable Instrument Used in the Discovery of Oil. Burton as secretary and Burton or Benton? This obscure company went out of business a year later, in April of 1927. Condition: Two vertical folds. Measures about 10 & 3/4 x 8 & 1/2 inches. I have been in this business for many years and sell only real historical documents. This is NOT a reproduction – guaranteed. Old stocks & bonds make great gifts… And look very nice framed in the home or office.
