FOR COLLECTIBLE PURPOSES ONLY. This is a vintage, cancelled share certificate and holds no financial value. A fantastic piece of scripophily / industrial history.

Capturing the energy of early 1970s American innovation, this historic share certificate was issued on November 3, 1971 by Morton-Norwich Products, Inc. — the result of a merger between two leading scientific and consumer health firms. Representing 500 common shares, it reflects a period when U.S. pharmaceutical companies were reshaping both laboratory science and international commerce.

Beautifully printed in orange and black intaglio by the Security-Columbian Banknote Company, the design features a classical female allegory holding a globe and laboratory glassware — symbols of discovery and global reach. Countersigned by Chemical Bank and First National City Bank, the certificate includes transfer stamps from Goldman Sachs & Co. and Chase Manhattan Bank, marking it as an authentic financial instrument of its time.

For collectors of pharmaceutical history, science ephemera, or corporate design, this document offers both historical depth and striking visual appeal. Preserving this certificate protects a fragment of 20th-century innovation, reflecting the collaboration between scientific research and global trade that shaped modern healthcare.
