Texas - Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna Autographed Bonds

General Antonio Lopez De Santa Anna
Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón (21 February 1794 – 21 June 1876), often known as Santa Anna or López de Santa Anna, was a Mexican political leader, general and President who greatly influenced early Mexican and Spanish politics and government.

He first fought against the independence from Spain, and then supported it. He rose to the ranks of general and president at various times over a turbulent 40-year career. He was President of Mexico on seven non-consecutive occasions over a period of 22 years. Santa Anna boldly signs this extremely graphic bond. It is without doubt the most impressive and ornate of all autographed stock or bonds.

This $500 bond was issued in 1866 from New York City while Santa Anna was living in exile. While he schemed to depose Emperor Maximilian, he issued these bonds in hopes of regaining power. In these attempts, he was captured and sentenced to death. Still, he was released and allowed to retire to New York and later when blind, he died in poverty and neglect. Of course, we remember him because of his success over the Texans at the Alamo and later his defeat and capture by Sam Houston at San Jacinto in 1836. Found in an old leather container in Texas, this Santa Anna signed American bond is fully issued, uncancelled, has no folds, has full margins and is in Superb condition.

Price On Request. For more information on Mexican and Santa Anna bonds visit our web site, http://www.glabarre.com, or call George LaBarre at 1-800-717-9529.

American Consolidated Fire Extinguisher Company

American Consolidated Fire Extinguisher Company

In 1867, a patent was granted to Carlier and Vignon, of France, for a portable apparatus that projected water saturated with carbonic acid gas upon to extinguish fire.

Mr. D. Miles, of Boston, purchased the American patent. The first machines sold under the new patent were filled with water and loaded with cartridges of dry acid and bicarbonate of soda. It released 80 pounds of pressure, sufficient to project a stream of approximately 50 feet.

The most important step in the evolution of the modern extinguisher was the adoption of a device for mixing liquid acid with the soda solution by the turning of a handle or screw. This version was much more effective in maintaining pressure.

This certificate features a unique vignette of a fire extinguisher in operation. Issues in Massachusetts, year 1871 Only 1 found, and the condition is excellent!

Collectible Minneapolis Linen Mills signed by Charles A. Pillsbury

Minneapolis Linen Mills signed by Charles A. Pillsbury stock signed by Charles Alfred Pillsbury (1842-1899), U.S. flour industrialist and the founder & namesake of the Pillsbury Company.

 Born in Warner, New Hampshire, Pillsbury had a modest upbringing graduating from Dartmouth College in 1863, paying for his college education by teaching part-time. Charles was a prominent flour miller of Minneapolis, Minnesota. From 1877-1897, he was Minnesota State Senator and held the chairmanship of the Finance Committee of the Senate. He was responsible for introduction and implementation of legislation, recommended by his uncle, Gov. John S. Pillsbury, for the adjustment of the state debt.

Pillsbury worked for six years as clerk and partner in Montreal, Canada, at a mercantile enterprise. During this time, he met his future wife, Mary Ann Stinson, daughter of Capt. Charles Stinson of Goffstown, New Hampshire and his wife Mary Ann Poore. Mr. Pillsbury made a close and thorough study of the methods of flour milling and contemplated better results through the industry's innovative practices in flour processing. At his own mill, Pillsbury discarded the buhr stones, and introduced and improved on the newer practices. He competed with Cadwallader C. Washburn and the Washburn family, Mr. Christian, and other millers in the production of what was called "new process" flour. Pillsbury created his own brand called "Pillsbury's Best." It was claimed that "Pillsbury's Best" was the finest flour in the world, and its production techniques allowed Pillsbury to capture a niche in the marketplace demanding high-quality flour.

The use of a series of carefully gauged steel rolls in the crushing of grain into flour effected an entire revolution in all the large flour mills of the United States, as it was efficient and produced excellent quality. It led to important changes in wheat growing, because it created a demand for hard "spring wheat", which had, up to that point, a less-esteemed reputation than that of the softer winter wheat of the South.

In 1872, Mr. Pillsbury persuaded his father and his uncle to join him in an expansion of the business and the firm of Charles A. Pillsbury & Co. entered upon a career of remarkable enterprise. A brother, Frederick C. Pillsbury, came into the firm at a later date. Pillsbury introduced a system of company profit sharing in addition to regular wages, as reward for their interest in the success of the business. As a consequence, no strikes ever interrupted the Pillsbury business. In 1889, an English syndicate bought a controlling interest in the largest flouring industries of Minneapolis and the water power at the Falls, and combined them under the name of The Pillsbury-Washburn Flour Mills Co. Mr. Pillsbury remained the manager and one of the three American directors of the entire property.

The name of Charles A. Pillsbury & Co. was retained by the former partners, but their operations were confined to the management of The Union and Empire Elevators and to looking after the assets of the firm, which were largely invested in pine forest.

Collectible Northern Pacific Railroad Stock Certificates

In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln signed into law the Northern Pacific’s charter making it the beneficiary of the largest government railroad land grant in American history. This grant would eventually include over forty million acres and a vast extinguishment of Indian land titles. The original incorporators, led by the tireless advocate Josiah Perham set out to link Lake Superior to Puget Sound. It would take nearly twenty years and countless heartaches and setbacks until the final spike completing the line was ceremoniously driven on September 8, 1883 fifty-five miles west of Helena, Montana.

The history of the Northern Pacific's growth as an entity is filled with the stories of western legend and Wall Street intrigue. From the white-collar offices of New York investment bankers to the lowliest Chinese coolie worker grading the road, the construction of the Northern Pacific was fraught with danger. Indeed, the early engineering parties were protected by none other than George Armstrong Custer as the railroad cut a swath through lands of the Sioux and other Indian tribes. As Indian lands shrank, opportunity grew for the capitalist white man. And a mesmerized Wall Street continued to pour millions upon millions more into the new frontier which offered untold potential riches, as well as some of the greatest financial risks ever taken by the investment community. As one of the largest corporate undertakings of the 19th century, the Northern Pacific’s development attracted many of America’s most well-known financiers, bankers, industrialists, and businessmen from virtually every imaginable pursuit.

Stock and Bonds Collector's Insight and Advice - Part Two

More information about collecting Stocks and Bonds and how to decide whether you can sell them...

VALUE: Back in 1981, the most valuable collectible stock sold for $3,000. This same railroad stock signed by Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt now sells for $12,000. Stocks currently sell for as much as $130,000. Compare this record price to other collectibles. Single coins have sold for over $4 Million. A stamp can sell in the Million dollar range. Autographs have sold for over a Million Dollars. One could conclude that quality collectible Stocks and Bonds represent very good value in today’s market.

RARITY: Stocks and Bonds are becoming very difficult to find. Most of our inventory was acquired 10 to 20 years ago. Demand has grown steadily over the years as supply has gone down. It has taken 20 years to build these collections that we can now offer.

VARIETY: Collecting topics offer something for every taste. Railroads, Automotive, Aviation, Mining, Oils, Communications, Insurance, Banking and Autographs. Stocks and bonds can be collected by state, city, or region.

FUN: Most importantly, collecting stocks and bonds is “FUN” and most satisfying.

Stocks and Bonds Collector's Insight and Advice - Part One

What you need to know about Stocks and Bonds to decide whether you can sell them...

HISTORY: Financial history is exciting and fun. 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. We can enjoy this rich history in collecting Stocks and Bonds. These documents are truly pieces of history and of great educational value.

ART: Engraved printing of Stocks and Bonds by American Banknote, Franklin Lee Banknote, International Banknote, etc., are considered serious art. They decorate dens, offices, boardrooms, and corporate headquarter buildings.

TREASURE HUNTING APPEAL: Collecting Stocks and Bonds is still so new, one can say “it is still in its infancy”. As a result, there are bargains and little treasures to be found. This is a fresh, new vibrant hobby!
