On the previous page of this topic I posted one from Homestake Mining. Some time in the 1970s Homestake decided to update the look of their stock certificates so they added allegorical figures on either side of the original vignette. I think it's a nice improvement.   |

Hi - New Member here, I collect "security" ephemera, Stocks, Bonds, Checks and some of the associated bits to make them. I did a quick search and did not see this one posted before, Calumet & Hecla. They dropped the "Copper Mine" part by the time this was issued in 1961, almost 100 years after the mine first opened. A very stylish Indian vignette graces this ABNco product.

Calumet & Hecla The site of the former Calumet & Hecla Mining Company is now part of the Keweenaw National Historical Park: https://www.nps.gov/kewe/index.htmIf you want, you can go on several underground mining tours. |

La Rose Mines were located in remote central Ontario, Canada. These were cobalt mines, which gave rise to the nearby town of Cobalt.   Edited by GregAlex

Thar's copper in them hills! The vignette doesn't look much like Alaska, but that's where the mine was. The handwritten notation at top says "Original stock bought 1902 at 20˘ share." That would have been while the Klondike gold rush was still at its peak. These copper mines were much further north.   Edited by GregAlex

Far from the mines in the deserts of Nevada, or the golden diggings in Colorado and the American west, we have a Spanish Coal mine. Compania De Las Hulleras De Ujo-Mieres With engravings of a more Goya like feel than the almost photorealistic images on some US Stock vignettes.  |

What a dramatic illustration! Sometimes these Euro bonds do surpass the American ones, though I am definitely biased towards engravings. Thanks for posting!
