Stock & Bond Certificate Index

This index changes rapidly since we continue to procure certificates.  This particular index is as of 11/24/04.  It may take awhile to load.  We added links here and there to full-sized images of the some of the vignettes (in the table cells highlited in yellow).  See also the Engravings of Alonzo Foringer page for more vignette images.

The images linked here are quite large, the more so to illustrate the incredibly masterful engraving techniques used. Remember that the stock vignettes themselves are only an inch or two in their original dimensions. After viewing the full images, hit the browser's "back" button to return to this page.
