Hi scopru, glad you are enjoying this new sub-forum! We're doing our best to keep it interesting. :-)
I don't think there's any exact cut-off between "classic" and "modern" in terms of North American stocks and bonds. I kind of draw the line around the 1960s. There is a distinct difference in format that started to creep in around then. Classic designs nearly always had a border framing the certificate. Modern certificates tended to have vertical lathework bars on one or both sides. But there are plenty of classic frames all the way into the 2000s. It just depended on the preference of the client.
