RAILROAD STOCKS

[Templar]

I RECEIVED SOME ITEMS PURCHASED BEFORE CHRISTMAS---AND SOME OF THEM WERE RAILROAD STOCK---WHEN TRAINS RULED THE COUNTRY, MANY PEOPLE PURCHASED STOCK FROM A VARIETY OF RAILROADS AND THE ART WORK ON THE STOCKS WERE SIMILAR TO CIGAR BOX TOPS--SHIPPING STOCKS----OLD MAP BORDERS----AND MANY MORE ITEMS WHO LIVE ONLY IN THEIR ART WORK LEFT BEHIND--------SOME OF YOU MAY COLLECT STOCKS---IF YOU ARE STARTING YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THEY CAN BECOME VERY EXPENSIVE DEPENDING ON BEAUTY AND RARETY.....SIMILAR TO OBSOLETE BANK NOTES......HERE ARE SOME I HOPE YOU LIKE--I DID NOT SHOW THE BACKS--THEY ARE ALL CANCELLED THOUGH....

I SAVED THE LAST STOCK BECAUSE OF WHAT IS ON IT----FIRST OF ALL IT IS THE READING RAILROAD---AND IF YOU EVER PLAYED MONOPOLY---THIS WAS ONE OF THE 4 RR.S ON THE PLAYING BOARD----I AM SURE YOU CAN NAME THE OTHE THREE..........

NEXT IS THE MAN'S NAME ON THE STOCK---EARL SCHEIBE---IN THE U.S. THERE WAS A MAN WHO PAINTED CARS NAMED EARL SCHEIBE-----HE STARTED CHARGING $19.95 ----OVER THE YEARS OF COURSE IT WENT UP TO AROUND $109.99----WHICH WAS THE LAST TIME I HEARD THEIR ADS----I DON'T KNOW IF HIS BUSINESS GOT TO AUSTRALIA AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS THE MAN BUT I THOUGHTIT WAS UNIQUE...LET ME KNOW IF YOU HEARD OF HIM OR HIS BUSINESS ---THANKS FOR LOOKING

Never heard of him downunder, or the railway station either.
Each country has it's own Monopoly board.
Nice stocks though, but I don't think I will start collecting them.

Nice stocks.  I like stuff like this. The other R.R. were Short Line, B&O, and Pennsylvina I think. I always liked that game. I didn't know each country had there own version though.      We'll talk about any thing I reckion.

I too collect stock certificates..this one is probably my favorite....Its from the 1906 Arizona-colorado gold mining and copper milling company and was made during the time that Arizona was a territory and not yet a state.I also have a few American Caramel certificates,which,if you collect old baseball cards is a big deal!!..the only RR certificate I have is a Reading Railroad stock!!!

WHEN I GO TO COIN SHOWS I AM AMAZED AT HOW PRICEY SOME OF THESE OLD SHARES CAN COST UT THEN WHEN I SEE THE ART WORK I UNDERSTAND----MAYBE IN THE NEAR FUTURE YOU WOUGH LIKE TO TRADE FOR SOME STOCKS OR BUY SOME WE COULD DO BUSINESS---EMAIL ME IF INERESTED OK?
