Scripophily a segment of numismatics

Scripophily, the collecting of historical and collectible stocks and bonds, often captures the imagination of numismatists. Many of these certificates have beautiful ornate vignette engravings on them. Just like the history of coins and stamps place their historic mark upon their respective hobbies. So do stock and bond certificates inherently capture the history of Corporations.

Marketers of historical and collectible stocks and bonds sometimes include in their sale descriptions of the history of that corporation’s respective stock or bond certificates. The history may include the date of Incorporation, the products sold by the company, the State in which the corporation was founded, and numerous other tidbits of corporate history. Thus, these stocks and bonds are very collectible by numismatists.

Many of these certificates are exceptionally artistic. All you have to do is own several of these fine collectibles to acquire a habit of collecting them. Maybe you would like to obtain a running start and purchase an extensive collection of 25 stock certificates which paint a clear picture of American corporate history in a young business student's mind.

Firstly, I would like to give thanks to my maker, God the Father who continues to bless me daily. There are numerous people who helped me along the way this year in many ways.

Rare circa 1860 "Wide Awake" style kepi Lincoln supporters


Rare circa 1860 "Wide Awake" style kepi



This kepi is a "Wide Awake" style Lincoln supporter political club oilcloth hat circa 1860. The Wide Awakes were a para military-political club loosely affiliated with the "Know-Nothing Movement" in the 1850s. By 1860, the Wide Awakes backed the new Republican Party and its candidate, Abraham Lincoln. There were hundreds of chapters of the club throughout the nation and they were considered a quasi-military organization with officers, uniforms, torches, banners, and some drill expertise. They functioned as a political police force, escorting campaign speakers and maintaining order at large political gatherings. They assembled at the polls to protect voters and marched in parades in support of their party. On October 3, 1860, 10,000 Wide Awakes marched in Chicago in a procession three miles long. Harpers Weekly illustrated the event in the October 13, 1860 issue of the magazine.

The kepi is constructed of oilcloth (enamel paint on fabric) with a cardboard brim. It is adorned on the front with a stamped brass metal eagle insignia (circa 1828 style well known and documented as used with the Wike Awake movement) and plain brass side buttons. This is an uncommon piece of headgear very specific to the American Civil War which is in attic-untouched condition overall.

For Sale $4,500 Louis 1.401.249.0492

The image of a young "Wide Awake" was found on the internet and is NOT included in this lot.

Choose work you enjoy


"Life is a great university for the unfolding of the mind, for developing character. In choosing our life work, when we are free to choose, we should remember this, and choose that which will call the biggest man or woman out of us and not that from which we can coin the most dollars."
