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


That one also has an interesting corner ornament. Although the frame on this is orange, I this this represents the mythical Green Man.

Not as fancy as the stocks everyone is posting, but I HAD to add SOMETHING to the thread ;-) I actually have some listed on ebay but I don't have enough posts yet to use the SALE section. I have plenty over on the stamp forum, but coins and I have only a fleeting acquaintance at this point.

I may go and scan some of the bonds I am keeping in my collection and share them with you all.

I am very glad when I'm not the only contributor to this thread! I appreciate your posts!

I generally don't collect bond coupons unless they are attached to the actual bond. But I do have a printer's proof of a coupon! I thought this was intriguing enough (and cheap enough) that I added it to my collection. It's amazing the detail that's on these tiny engravings.

Since that last post was not really railroad related, I'll get us back on track with a bond that arrived recently. I don't have many that were printed by Continental Bank Note Co., so this was a welcome addition.

A couple of beauties arrived this past week. I've been trying to find a good example of the Chicago & South Western Rwy and finally did at a reasonable price. It's a very colorful stock with RN-U1 imprinted in orange and a great vignette of old #13 pulling up at a flag stop. The state seals of Iowa and Missouri are nice, too.

And I like the head-on locomotive on this Rutland Railroad stock. They got a little carried away with the punch holes at the bottom, but the price was right.

Hello, railroad stock cert lovers.

Recently I was chatting with my step-dad, who in his working days had his own company that represented manufacturers of railroad parts. I probed a little, and found out that his company did a lot of business with Southern Railway Company.

I purchased the below stock certificate and wanted to frame it for him.

So I'm looking for any suggestions from you woodworkers out there for frame design/considerations. I am thinking purpleheart wood to go with the stock cert coloring, but don't know if that would go with their decor (think nautical and shaker; so: mahogany, teak, cherry, etc.). I have a couple ideas but would welcome any suggestions.

Thanks!
