Offered is an original 1921 stock certificate from the Philadelphia Traction Company signed by company President
The Philadelphia Traction Company, founded in 1883, played a central role in consolidating and electrifying Philadelphia’s street railway system, helping transition the city from horse-drawn cars to modern electric streetcars
CONDITION: This comes from my father’s collection of antique stocks and bonds. I am not a professional so please see photos and ask questions. It shows age related toning, foxing, edge wear/folds/tears, cancellation holes and marks, a wonderful electric streetcar vignette, ornate borders, raised corporate seal and printed by American Bank Note Philadelphia.
This piece uniquely combines:
*Early American transit development
*A compelling and display-worthy artifact from a transformative era in American infrastructure
Perfect for :
*Railroad & streetcar history enthusiasts
*Scripophily collectors of early 20th-century financial documents
*As a crossover piece for Philadelphia history collectors
*Framing and display
Final Note: I will combine shipping so please see other listings or follow as I continue to add. Thanks
