GregAlex Pillar of the Community United States 759 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 7:51 pm I never thought to group my general stock certificates by fabric manufacturers, but there was a surprising number. I especially like the vignettes on some of these. Viscose is the chemical substance used to create rayon. I'm not sure what Kendall produced, but it appears to be something related to cloth, based on the vignette. Love the old machinery on these two. Silk... Ribbons... And wool!

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 15747 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 9:29 pm Greg, these are fantastic - thank you for sharing! I really like the winged wheel that the weaver (?) is riding on the Kendall certificate. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

GregAlex Pillar of the Community United States 759 Posts	Posted 04/16/2023 7:28 pm The winged wheel represents progress and it shows up on quite a few security engravings. If you look closely you'll find one on the Century Ribbon Mills vignette. Now I'm thinking that might make a good topic! Edited by GregAlex 04/16/2023 7:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

GregAlex Pillar of the Community United States 759 Posts	Posted 01/16/2024 5:26 pm Here is an earlier version of a Crompton & Knowles stock certificate. I actually have a number of these that I'd be happy to offer inexpensively to forum members, but I'm not sure about the rules regarding sales. Report this Post to the Staff

GregAlex Pillar of the Community United States 759 Posts	Posted 12/22/2024 9:42 pm In its day, Chadbourn was one of the leading U.S. manufacturers of silk stockings and hosiery. But by the time this bond was issued they were being badly out-competed by foreign companies. The mill eventually closed in the late 1970s. Report this Post to the Staff
