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.   |

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.  Edited by GregAlex

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."

Great stock certificate, but maybe not such a good investment.  Do you know how much he paid, per share? Edited by GregAlex
