Extended Information

This rare Ford Specimen Stock Certificate features Henry Ford and his first vehicle the Quadricycle. The Quadricyle had a 4-horsepower engine and road on four bicycle tires and featured a tiller for steering rather than a steering wheel. This specimen Ford stock certificate was printed in 1959. It features Henry Ford II "Hank the Duece" as President. He was the oldest grandson of Henry Ford and was President from 1945 to 1960 and CEO until 1979. He remained chairman until 1980 and retired in 1982. Henry Ford II brought Ford Motors public in 1956.

This beautiful Ford Motor Company Stock Certificate is the perfect gift for any automobile or stock market enthusiast or collector. Founded by Henry Ford in 1903, the company was based on a system of mass assembly and management. It was the invention of the assembly line. Ford Motor Corp. today is one of the largest auto producers in the world.

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.
