Beautiful SCARCE certificate from the Toledo and Wabash Railway Company issued in 1862. This historic document was printed by the Henry Seibert & Bros. Company and has an ornate border around it with a vignette of a train exiting a tunnel carved out of the mountain. This item has the signatures of the Company's President and Treasurer, and is over 147 years old. Some sighs of wear.
Scripophily.com is a name you can TRUST!
