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

The certificate presents a distinguished blue intaglio-style frame surrounding the bold corporate title, accompanied by a classical seated figure flanked by two hemispheric globes. This imagery, characteristic of mid-century American financial printing, reflects the period’s confidence in technological progress and international connectivity. The design is executed with crisp linework that highlights the prestige associated with Collins Radio Company, a notable name in communications engineering.

Produced in the United States in 1966 and printed by the American Bank Note Company, the piece represents the era in which Collins played an influential role in radio, avionics, and aerospace communication systems. Its composition, typography, and security engraving align with the wider tradition of high-quality corporate share certificates issued during the post-war technological boom.

The document retains its original dimensions of approximately 12 x 8 inches and displays only light toning and gentle archival wear consistent with careful long-term storage. The printed signatures, embossed seal, and transfer notations remain legible, offering collectors a clear and well-preserved example suitable for archival portfolios or thematic collections relating to American electronics and telecommunications history.
