This rare Canada Dry Ginger Ale, Inc. $1000 Specimen Bond Certificate was from 1956. Canada Dry dates back to 1890 when a Canadian pharmacist opened a carbonated water plant in Toronto. John J. McLaughlin created Canada Dry Pale Ginger Ale shortly after. It was so successful he opened a plant in Manhattan. They went public in 1923 and became Canada Dry Ginger Ale, Inc.
Canada Dry was purchased by Dr. Pepper in 1982. 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 beverages, including Canada Dry, 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.
About Specimens:
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.
