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

This 1977 Hydrometals, Inc. share certificate is distinguished by its vibrant green guilloché border design and a central allegorical figure of Columbia holding a sheaf of wheat and globe, symbolising progress and industry. Issued to Kidder Peabody & Co Inc, the document certifies ownership of ten common shares, with a par value of $2.50 per share. The layout reflects the clean, formal style of late 20th-century American corporate securities.

Hydrometals, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of Illinois, reflecting the region’s industrial heritage. The certificate was engraved by the American Bank Note Company, whose reputation for security engraving is evident in the precision of the green patterning and the crisp serif type. This document is transferable in both Dallas and New York, underscoring the national reach of such corporations even in the secondary metals or materials sector.

Dated March 17, 1977, the certificate remains in decent vintage condition, with minor archival toning and typical signs of cancellation, including the large purple “CANCELLED” stamp. The reverse contains the full legal assignment form and has been signed and endorsed. Measuring approximately 12 x 8 inches, this piece is ideal for collectors of 1970s industrial or financial ephemera, or those with an interest in American mid-century stock typography and design.
