1975 certificate for 100 shares in Virginia Electric and Power Company, with allegorical figures and regional map vignette. Issued to E.F. Hutton & Company Inc. and cancelled.

Printed in bold red with ornate borders and classical styling, this share certificate presents a dramatic central vignette flanked by seated allegorical figures. Between them is a shaded map showing Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and North Carolina — the service region of VEPCO. The engraving is emblematic of 1970s corporate visual identity, combining clarity and authority with historical symbolism.

Issued on October 29, 1975, this document represents 100 common stock shares in Virginia Electric and Power Company, a major regional energy utility. The certificate was issued to E.F. Hutton & Company Inc., one of the era’s best-known brokerage firms. Printed by the American Bank Note Company, with Chase Manhattan Bank acting as transfer agent, it reflects a period of continued expansion and corporate structuring in the postwar energy sector.

This example is in decent vintage condition, measuring approximately 12 x 8 inches, with light archival wear and cancellation perforations. The reverse bears transfer details and stampings from both brokerage and trust departments. It is a substantial specimen for collectors of energy-sector scripophily, midcentury American finance, or engraved securities from legacy brokerage accounts.
