Description

This rare Pabst Corporation Stock Certificate was issued to and signed by president Fred Pabst Jr. Pabst signed it twice, one one the front as president and also endorsed on the back. It was issued in 1922 for 500 shares and is a low Certificate #28. In the left-hand attached receipt, under "From Whom Transferred", Fred Pabst is also the source of the shares. Stock certificates from the Pabst Corporation are exceedingly rare. Most are from the Pabst Brewing Company.

Pabst Brewing Company was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1844 by Jacob Best as The Empire Brewery. His son, Phillip took control of the Company in 1860. Frederick Pabst, son-in-law of Phillip Best, took over the company in 1866 and became Pabst Brewing in 1889. When Frederick Pabst died in 1904, his sone Gustave and Frederick Jr. took over the brewery. They are responsible for its survival through prohibition and turning into the iconic American beer company it is today. Frederick Pabst Jr was the Chairman Emeritus of the Pabst Brewing Company and president of the Pabst Corporation.
