This 1959-issued certificate for 75 shares in The Atlantic Refining Company is a distinguished example of mid-20th-century American corporate scrip. Featuring a vibrant red border and a central vignette of twin allegorical female figures flanking the company’s roundel, it captures the refined visual language of oil and energy industries in the postwar era. Measuring approximately 12 x 8 inches, the piece stands out both for its intricate design and the restrained symbolism of strength and abundance.

Incorporated under the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, The Atlantic Refining Company was one of the early titans of American petroleum, with roots extending to the 19th century. This certificate, issued to Cuyler & Company, bears the signatures of company officers including Charles J. Keller and Harrison Ruffin, and is co-signed by The Chase Manhattan Bank. The reverse carries detailed legal provisions, reflecting the layered governance structure of major oil corporations at the time.

The certificate remains in decent vintage condition, with minor age-related toning and typical archival wear. With clear transfer perforations and official stamps, it maintains its full printed integrity and historic appeal. A desirable addition for collectors of vintage oil ephemera or early U.S. energy sector documentation.
