LaBarre Galleries had the good fortune to encounter a large group of Boston, Hartford, and Erie Railroad bonds. These engraved bonds were so beautiful including superb color, graphics, 3 great imprinted revenues, and many rows of coupons all bearing a train vignette. This historic bond had all the qualities a collector could want! We sold this group quickly. Whenever we had the opportunity to buy a small group or interesting archive, we bought whenever possible. We are now proud to stock the LARGEST INVENTORY OF COLLECTIBLE STOCKS AND BONDS IN THE WORLD…OVER 6 MILLION PIECES!!! George LaBarre has been a Life Member of the American Numismatic Association for over 30 years, a Member of the Bond and Share Society, Manuscript Society, Society of Paper Money Collectors, American Philatelic Society, International Bank Note Society, etc. This led to the development of the Collecting Stocks and Bonds works. Stocks and bonds were used in colonial times, early shipping, railroads, throughout the Industrial Revolution, into the automotive age, the Crash of 1929, and all through the past decades of economic growth. Dealers and collectors alike can enjoy rich history in these documents, which are of great educational value. In 1978, the enthusiasm for this field began to pick up in Europe. Since then, American demand has grown steadily. This fresh, new, and vibrant hobby offers many bargains and little treasures. Stocks and bonds are becoming very difficult to find. This is an art form that is slowly dying, and most companies do not issue these to stockholders anymore, so this is a chance for flea market and swap meet vendors to enter into this collectible world with very little money. Condition: Very good / No Dust Jacket issued.
