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

This 1950 certificate presents a refined blue intaglio border framing an allegorical engraving of two seated male figures flanking the A.C.F. Brill wheel emblem, a composition characteristic of American Bank Note Company work during the period. The controlled symmetry and crisp linework evoke the disciplined aesthetic of post-war industrial enterprise and the continuation of early twentieth-century engraving traditions.

Issued under the laws of Delaware, the certificate reflects the mid-century consolidation of American transport manufacturers, with A.C.F.–Brill Motors Company positioned within a lineage of urban traction engineering. The engraved typography, transfer stamps dated July and August 1950, and the meticulous printed detailing speak to a period when financial documents were crafted as both legal instruments and objects of visual authority.

Surviving with light toning and modest archival wear, the piece retains strong legibility across its 11½ × 7½-inch format. The paper remains stable, with perforations and transfer notations consistent with authentic circulation. Its condition and clarity make it suitable for archival preservation or collector display, particularly for those specialising in transport history or American corporate ephemera.
