Description: Vintage 1945 Pennsylvania Railroad "Pennsy" Gold Bond Certificate w/ Coupons! 15" x 10" ~ Little to no edge wear. This unique and rare bond, famously known through the Monopoly game, is a privilege to own. While similar items are sparingly found, this one stands out with its coupons. It's an exceptional certificate from an American Icon that has shaped the course of history! The Pennsylvania Railroad, also known as the 'Pennsy,' was more than just a railroad. It was an American Class I railroad established in 1846 and headquartered in Philadelphia. Named after the commonwealth in which it was established, the Pennsylvania Railroad was a significant part of American history. At its peak in 1882, it was the largest railroad, the largest transportation enterprise, and the largest corporation globally, a testament to its historical importance. Imagine the excitement of hanging this vintage historic collectible on your wall as home decor in any room! Stock certificates, like this one, are a limited supply. Once they are part of museums and collections, they become even harder to acquire. They are not just historical documents, but also potential future investments. The first stock certificate was issued in 1606 by the Dutch East India Company. Four hundred seven years of history later, the Walt Disney Company issued one of the last paper stock certificates from a major corporation in 2013. Who knows what the future holds for this rare piece? My pictures seriously don't do it justice. These had to be done on heavy paper stock, almost like a dollar bill, but stiffer and more durable, making them stay vibrant and new for a long time. The other unique thing about stock certificates is their variety of exciting signatures, from the company President and Secretary to other historical figures. Some collectors research these signatures, adding significant provenance and value to an already valuable item. I have never done this as I can barely read my signature, let alone one from over 100 years ago, and the time it would take to do thousands of certificates, my mother and I decided years ago not to bother.
