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

This certificate is framed within an ornate green border characteristic of mid-century work by the American Bank Note Company, featuring a balanced composition centred on an allegorical grouping representing prosperity, stability and technological advancement. The engraved title of Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. is rendered with clarity and authority, reflecting the company’s established role within New York’s expanding post-war utilities sector.

The combination of traditional intaglio engraving and a more modern page structure situates the piece firmly in the late 1950s, a period marked by significant infrastructural investment and regulatory sophistication. The embossed corporate seal dated 1884, handwritten annotations, transfer markings, and neatly executed typography provide a vivid record of shareholder practice and corporate communication in the era.

Measuring approximately 11½ × 7½ inches, the certificate remains in stable condition with light toning and mild archival wear consistent with careful handling. Its preserved detailing, intact perforations, and strong legibility make it an appealing acquisition for collectors of utilities history, New York corporate ephemera, or mid-century financial documents.
