    Bought box lot of 1800's German sheet music found this stuck in the middle, almost like it was hidden there. I have had it 20+ year. Issued in 1922, 90 shares, $100.00/share, that is a lot of 2017 clams! I have not really done any work on finding out anything. I have threatened to go to Clarksville, TN and do some investigating. I keep it on my desk in a case. If any one knows anything it would be cool to add to the story.

      Please could you post your photos right side up so they can be read properly. There are some photo taking tips I think on the Help page. Many thanks.

      Cool! I have some old share certificates as well, nice to frame. Unless the company is still active and you also can show that you are indeed Melville M Garvin, it's however of limited value. It would still belong to Melville. If the company's been bought or merged, well then the share certificate's been cancelled. There are of course people collecting these and you did get an offer for it so it's not worthless. Check out http://scripophily.com/ for instance.
