Extended Information

This Cadbury Schweppes Limited Specimen Stock Certificate is a rare find. Cadbury dates all the back to 1824 in Birmingham, England and is the second largest confectionary brand behind Mars. They merged with Schweppes in 1969 and were known as Cadbury Schweppes until 2008.

The Dr Pepper / Seven-Up Companies, Inc. was created by the merger of Dr. Pepper, Inc. and the 7Up Company in 1986. The merger took place as a bailout after the FTC blocked the merger of Dr. Pepper and Coca-Cola. It was subsequently purchased by Cadbury Schweppes. In 2008 the two beverages were split off into the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group. In 2018 Keurig Green Mountain purchased the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group for almost $19 billion and became Keurig Dr. Pepper.

Now known as Cadbury, they are one of the most successful British companies and a member of the FTSE 100.

Specimen stock certificates are certificates that were archived by printers and the company as perfect examples of the company’s stock issue. Specimen’s can be identified by their “specimen” stamp, stamped holes spelling “specimen”, or they are often issued with a serial number of a series of zeros. Often, they are also issued with no serial number at all. Specimens can also represent a design that was never issued. All of these attributes make the specimen stock certificate rarer than the issued version of the share. Many enthusiasts collect specimens as a whole new category of Scripophily.
