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

The engraved composition presents allegorical figures flanking the Sunoco emblem, creating a balanced and formal aesthetic associated with mid-twentieth-century corporate identity. Its rose-toned border, controlled layout, and emblematic central medallion reflect the visual language used across American petroleum documentation during this period, offering a clear sense of industrial culture and administrative formality.

Issued through the Philadelphia National Bank as part of an employee stock purchase arrangement and produced under the laws of New Jersey, the certificate was printed by the American Bank Note Company, whose intaglio craftsmanship shaped much of the financial ephemera of the era. Its typography, engraved flourishes, and consistent tonal palette exemplify the precision and visual authority of professional security printing in the 1960s.

The document retains light age toning and subtle archival wear consistent with careful long-term storage, and is printed on durable paper stock measuring approximately 12 x 8 inches. Its preservation and clarity make it of interest to collectors of scripophily and those studying the visual and administrative structures of twentieth-century American industry.
