These are so cool -- I may have to start collecting! At the very least it gives me a good gift idea for a family member.

Oh, I got a beauty today! Bonds from the NY Central & Hudson River RR are fairly easy to find at a good price, but this one was in a bargain pile and I snapped it up. The vignette is gorgeous -- and huge!

That is a beautiful one. It would be incredible to see wallpaper made with copies showing many of these vignettes shown here.

A nice railroad bond arrived the other day - Lake Shore & Michigan Southern. It's got a great vignette of a locomotive at a crossing, and this one even has some pretty work on the back.

This one's been in my collection a while, but I never got around to scanning it. It's got two nice vignettes at top and a little Massachusetts state seal at the bottom.

Great adds Greg as always.

I really like the vignette on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern.

Let's focus on just one railroad this time: The Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway Company. For decades the CCC&SL was one of biggest lines in the country and the number of stocks and bonds it issued was quite prolific. Fortunately for collectors, that means these are easy to find at very affordable prices.

To attract investors, the company spared no expense on the design of these securities and for the price, I think many are a great value. My own collection includes more different examples from this railroad than any other.

Beautiful examples Greg. My favorite would be the gold bond # 3595 you show. The vignette is stunning and the border is fantastic.
