Description
Signed by John D. Rockefeller - The Wealthiest Man in the World
J(ohn) D. Rockefeller Signed Standard Oil Trust Stock
Certificate 500 Shares Apr. 5, 1882 Extremely Fine,
cancelled.This stock certificate is signed by a man who during his lifetime would go on to become not only the richest man in America, but the richest man in the world. John D. Rockefeller organized Standard Oil in 1870, gained a monopoly in the oil business, and then organized the Standard Oil Trust in 1882. This 500 shares certificate was signed while Rockefeller was president of the trust. It is also signed by Secretary H(enry) M. Flagler and Treasurer J(abez) A. Bostwick. The register was removed from a binding and glued to the left edge of the stock certificate. This was a common practice with stock certificates. It has been rubber stamped cancelled. All three signatures have been pen cancelled in red ink and mechanically. The mechanical cancellation device produced ridges and a few thin cuts in the paper, but Rockefeller's signature is not impaired by any cuts. In our Long Beach sale we sold a similar example for a hair under $2,000.
