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

Steeped in the spirit of American enterprise, this 1969 stock certificate from the O’Sullivan Rubber Corporation reflects the postwar boom in materials manufacturing. The vibrant orange border, detailed engraving, and commanding eagle vignette capture the era’s confidence in industrial progress and technological ingenuity.

Incorporated in Virginia, O’Sullivan Rubber was a key manufacturer of rubber soles and industrial materials, contributing to the growth of mid-20th-century consumer goods. This certificate, issued to Reynolds & Co. for one share of common stock, bears the official corporate seal dated 1945, and the signatures of company officers C. Robert Fleamer Jr. (Secretary) and Paul Everitt (President). It was registered by First National City Bank and printed by the renowned American Bank Note Company, noted for its exquisite craftsmanship and security printing.

A fine example of American scripophily, this piece blends financial history with visual artistry. The certificate remains in decent vintage condition with gentle toning and minor archival handling marks, preserving its authenticity. A remarkable addition for collectors of industrial heritage documents, business historians, or anyone drawn to the aesthetics of vintage corporate design.
