That phrase usually applies to steel plate engravings, but in this case let's talk about steel companies. Thumbing through my collection, I realized I had quite a number of stocks and bonds from steel companies. Not too surprising, considering how important the steel industry was during the growth of railroads and skyscrapers.

Here are a few I had scanned already. I'll add more as I get to them.

Stock certificates and bonds often are works of art.
The OP's images are excellent examples.
Gorgeous.

My BiL is interested in railroads any has quite a few stock certificates and bonds that show similar art work.

You should take a look at this thread: http://goccf.com/t/302636 Lots of RR stock and bonds to eyeball! There is also one devoted to trolleys.

I did some more scanning tonight. This is about half my collection of these -- more to come eventually. It's interesting how many of these companies chose manly male figures to represent themselves.

I found one I missed because "steel" wasn't part of the company name. The Kropp Forge Co. used their gigantic forges to fabricate steel products.
