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

March 1988 share certificate for 600 common stock shares in Standard Federal Bank, featuring classic geometric banknote motifs and allegorical female figure.

This visually striking certificate is anchored by a stately blue guilloché border and intricate patterned underprint typical of late 20th-century American financial design. The vignette at lower left depicts a seated allegorical figure symbolising stability and savings, while the raised Standard Federal seal and bold corporate logo reinforce its institutional authority. The layout lends itself well to archival framing or scripophily display.

Issued in 1988 to Norman Weart, this certificate represents 600 shares in Standard Federal Bank, a prominent savings and loan association headquartered in Troy, Michigan. Printed by the United States Banknote Corporation, it reflects late-era share documentation before dematerialisation. Standard Federal played a major role in American home finance during the 20th century, eventually merging into ABN AMRO in the 2000s.

The piece is in decent vintage condition, with minor age toning and discreet handling marks consistent with age. Measuring approximately 12 x 8 inches, it is printed on bank-grade stock paper with multiple overprints and transfer stamps verso. This original document is ideal for collectors of North American financial ephemera, particularly those focused on savings and loan institutions or 1980s-era investment history.
