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 combines richly patterned blue side panels with a central engraved vignette depicting a seated allegorical figure alongside two globes and laboratory vessels, a visual language characteristic of Security-Columbian Banknote Company engraving during the early 1970s. The balanced layout and crisp title of Morton-Norwich Products, Inc., incorporated under the laws of Delaware, reflect the company’s identity as a diversified manufacturer with pharmaceutical, consumer, and chemical interests.

The document belongs to a period when share certificates increasingly integrated modern regulatory features, including CUSIP numbering, transfer instructions, and technical microprinting. The date August 7, 1973, perforated cancellations, and later assignment markings serve as a clear record of mid-century corporate transactions. The intaglio detailing retains the clarity and line precision associated with professional banknote engraving of the era.

Measuring approximately 12 × 8 inches, the certificate remains in decent vintage condition with light toning and minor archival wear consistent with routine handling and filing. The paper remains stable, the borders intact, and the central engraving clear, making it a strong example for collectors of pharmaceutical-sector ephemera, Delaware-incorporated firms, or late twentieth-century financial printing.
