GregAlex Pillar of the Community United States 822 Posts	Posted 12/09/2023 2:17 pm I was surprised at how many oil and gas stocks I had when I finally went through them. But I guess I shouldn't have been -- for well over a century there has been a huge amount of oil exploration, by large and small companies. Here's a sampling of some that ended up in my collection.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24872 Posts	Posted 12/09/2023 4:27 pm Beautiful artwork on these stocks, GregAlex - thank you for sharing them with us! I was hoping that there would be a gusher on one, and you did not disappoint. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

GregAlex Pillar of the Community United States 822 Posts	Posted 01/28/2024 4:35 pm By the 1950s, when this was issued, most of the oil in the Dominguez Oil Fields south of Compton had been depleted. But in it's heyday, over 300 oil derricks were pumping 200 million barrels annually. Today, much of the land is now the site of Cal State Dominguez Hills.

GregAlex Pillar of the Community United States 822 Posts	Posted 02/25/2024 10:35 pm Today I came across some more modern oil securities that I forgot to post. Atlantic Richfield used a particularly striking ink color for their frame. You almost never see such a bright green! Report this Post to the Staff
