Jay Gould (1836-1892) Financier. Just imagine, this bond was issued and signed by Jay Gould as President of this railroad at the age of 29! His signature at front of this 1865 Bond is quite bold but hole cancelled. His signature at back is perfect as he signs with other Trustees. Unusual format bond printed in purple with a typical Civil War style eagle at front. Bond issued for New York and Vermont. Stamp and hole cancelled. Very Fine Condition. A nice portrait of Gould is included. Very Rare! Item ordered may not be exact piece shown. All original and authentic.
