Stock certificates are becoming increasingly rare collectibles, with many ending up in museums and private collections. These historic documents hold centuries of significance, dating back to the first stock certificate issued in 1606 by the Dutch East India Company. The tradition continued until 2013 when the Walt Disney Company issued one of the last paper stock certificates from a major corporation.
Each certificate is printed on heavy paper stock, similar to a dollar bill but more durable, ensuring its vibrancy and preservation over time. One fascinating aspect of stock certificates is the array of signatures they bear, often including those of the company President and Secretary. These signatures add provenance and value to the certificate, making it a tangible link to the past.
