I could have sworn I started a thread about these already, but it's nowhere to be found. Maybe it was on another forum. But in any case ... cars! This is a very popular theme among collectors, probably because classic automobile enthusiasts like to have examples of the company stock certificate for cars they own.

There are hundreds of companies, some quite scarce, but I generally only collect the affordable ones.

Picked up another one! This is a company I'd never heard of. I wonder what model of cars they built -- Jeeps?

I picked this one up the other day. I don't know much about Autocar, but this looks more like a truck to me.

Very nice!

Seems like they produced a variety of vehicles until 1911 when they focused on trucks. They survive to this day...

I love the Nash certificate. My Dad always drove a Nash when I was growing up. Found memories of the fold down front seat for camping.

Here's one I know next to nothing about -- Falls Motors Corp. of Virginia Not a very fancy stock, but maybe there's a good story to be found.

After a little research, I think Falls Motors only manufactured the engines for automobiles. Here's a paragraph from an article on the Autoweek website:

"The Falls Machine Co. of Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, was established to build woodworking and milling equipment, but in 1908 started making industrial and agricultural engines. Before long it reorganized as Falls Motors Corp., building as many as 200 engines a day for automakers such as Dort, Elgin, Apperson, Moon and others that failed to survive the early days of the industry."
