It's been a while since I found something to add to this little niche collection. But I bet this logo is recognizable to a lot of folks...   |

Here was a nice find -- a 1940 stock for Pathe Film Corp. Pathe was the oldest and largest film company in France, but they also expanded into the U.S. during the silent era. Eventually the U.S. branch merged with RKO.   Edited by GregAlex

I'm a big fan of allegory, so I find vignettes such as the one on this certificate (and many of the others in this thread) very appealing. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

Not as cool as the allegorical scenes that have been displayed, but here's a certificate with a bald eagle vignette that fits the theme of the "movie industry." Cinerama, Inc. pioneered the wide-screen, three-camera/projector format that was introduced as "Cinerama" back in 1952 via the movie This Is Cinerama. The technology offered a 146 degree view on a special-built curved screen  Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Nice example! The additional commentary is always a value add. |

I recall seeing movies in the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood in the 1980s. Not sure if it's still operating today. It was kind of the IMAX of its day.

This one has been a puzzle for me for many years. If the vignette is any indicator, AMT Corp was some sort of theatre or performing arts business. It was incorporated in 1961 according to the company seal. If anyone can provide some background, I'm all ears!   |

It's been a long time since I've found something new for this collection, but this arrived last week. Not issued and not engraved, but it's from my old home state of Michigan, so how could I resist?  |
