Vintage 1960s Atlantic Richfield Stock Certificate ⛽ Orange, Less Than 100 Shares, ARCO Oil Americana

Remember ARCO? ⛽ Vintage 1960s Atlantic Richfield Stock Certificate, Orange, Less Than 100 Shares

Size: 12" x 8" ~ Little to no wear.

⛽ A 1960s Atlantic Richfield Company stock certificate in bright orange - a great piece of oil-company Americana. At roughly 12" x 8", it features an ornate border, finely engraved vignette of industry and allegorical figures, and the bold ATLANTIC RICHFIELD COMPANY name across the center.

🛢️ ARCO was born in 1966, when the Atlantic Refining Company and Richfield Oil merged into the Atlantic Richfield Company, and it grew fast into one of the big names in oil and gas. These orange certificates come from that early corporate era, when ARCO was issuing shares under its new name and rolling out branding across gas stations and refineries.

🏭 Today, ARCO is a gasoline brand owned by Marathon Petroleum, while BP keeps rights to the name in Northern California, Oregon, and Washington; Marathon operates ARCO stations through much of the rest of the United States and into Mexico. That continuity makes vintage ARCO paper a fun bridge between Wall Street history and the gas stations drivers still recognize.

🎨 Why the orange issue pops on a wall:

• Printed on heavy, bank‑quality paper that feels a bit like an oversized banknote—crisp, durable, and designed to hold detail.

• Warm orange border and detailed engraving look fantastic when framed, especially in offices, dens, bars, or garages.

• Officer signatures and share details give each certificate small variations and a direct link back to 1960s corporate life.

These are issued instruments rather than blanks. These were real working certificates, so they carry the marks of it - signatures, agent and registrar stamps, cancellation punches and so on. Each one's a little different - names, numbers, dates, signatures and punch holes change from sheet to sheet - so the pictures show the kind you'll get, not the exact one. The supply is finite - nobody's issuing Atlantic Richfield stock again, and once these last certificates are gone, they'll be very difficult to acquire.
