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

Emanating the confidence of post-war American industry, this finely engraved stock certificate from the Harnischfeger Corporation captures a moment when manufacturing power and corporate prestige defined the economic landscape. The document features classical allegorical artwork symbolising strength and engineering — reflecting the company’s long history in heavy machinery and construction innovation.

Issued on February 9, 1973, to Leonard Kreusch Inc. Profit Sharing Plan, this certificate represents 200 common shares at a par value of $10 each. Registered by The Chase Manhattan Bank and countersigned by First National City Bank, it bears the company’s embossed seal and the printed signatures of corporate officers, including President Harry Harnischfeger. The certificate’s elegant engraving was produced by the Security-Columbian Banknote Company, one of the premier security printers of its era.

Today, such documents are treasured not only for their visual artistry but also for their connection to the industrial and financial history of the United States. Collectors of scripophily and business ephemera will appreciate its authenticity, detailed design, and preserved condition — a tangible reminder of a corporation that helped build the 20th century’s industrial world.
