Description
Preferred Stock certificate from the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway Company, commonly called the "Big Four" railroad. This line, which served four states in the US mid-west, was later acquired by the New York Central Railroad, and its track went into the merged Penn Central company in the 1960s and Conrail in the 1970s. With the sale of Conrail, the remaining tracks of the Big Four are owned now primarily by either Norfolk Southern or CSX.
This certificate, which measures appx 11x7 inches, is for ten shares of common stock and was issued December 12, 1942 . It is printed on typical stock bond paper. The detailed vignette shows a steam locomotive pulling a passenger train. This item is in excellent condition. It has no spills or smears, and no writing or markings other than those associated with its issuance and processing. It has no rips or tears, but it does have punch holes from its cancellation upon redemption in 1958.
This is a beautiful certificate and would look fantastic if matted and framed. Any railfan from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois or Michigan would appreciate having this in his/her collection.
