Description: We are thrilled to present to you a truly rare find-the Vintage 1930s Irving Trust Company Stock Certificate, a unique piece of history in a striking Green hue. This one-of-a-kind item, with its rarity, is a must-have for any serious collector or investor. The Irving Trust Company Stock Certificate is not just a piece of paper, it's a tangible link to our past. In 1929, Irving was New York's fourth-ranked financial institution and fifth in the United States, a testament to its impressive financial power. Today, it stands as a monument to the ingenuity that shaped our present, a connection to our rich financial history. 13 1/2" x 9 1/2" ~ Irving Trust was an American commercial bank headquartered in New York City that operated between 1851 and 1988 when the Bank of New York acquired it. Between 1913 and 1931, its headquarters was in the Woolworth Building; after 1931, until the Bank of New York acquired it, it was located at 1 Wall Street, now known as the BNY Mellon Building. The bank's origins date back to 1851 when the Irving Bank of the City of New York was founded. Since there was not yet a federal currency, each bank issued its paper for use. The firm was named after Washington Irving, an author, diplomat, and lawyer who had gained an international reputation as America's first man of letters. His portrait appeared on the bank's notes. My pictures don't do justice to these stock certificates' intricate details and vibrant colors. You must see them in person to appreciate their beauty and historical significance! Imagine the thrill of owning this piece of history, displaying it on your wall as a unique home decor in any room. But these stock certificates are more than just historical documents. They are potential investments, their rarity and historical significance making them increasingly valuable over time. The first stock certificate was issued in 1606 by the Dutch East India Company. Four hundred seven years of history later, the Walt Disney Company issued one of the last paper stock certificates from a major corporation in 2013. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of this history and potentially increase your investment portfolio! One of the unique aspects of stock certificates is the variety of exciting signatures and stamps they can bear. While almost all stocks are signed by the company President and Secretary, some collectors delve deeper, researching the other signatures and their historical significance. This meticulous process adds a wealth of provenance and value to an already valuable item. I have never done this as I can barely read my signature, let alone one from over 100 years ago!
