NATIONAL RAILWAYS OF MEXICO 1910 FERROCARRILES NACIONALES Stock Bond Certificate

Description

Rare, vintage collectible piece of the railroad industry.  This 0 Gold bond, second-preferred certificate was

Other than a fold line in the middle, this certificate in near-perfect condition - and was printed by American Bank Note Company.  This is absolutely authentic, NOT a reproduction.  As many of you already know, paper stock and bond certificates have for the most part gone away in favor of electronic 'book-entry' stock ownership.  Physical certificates have become very collectible, and an important part of Wall Street history.
