Extended Information

This rare Moreland Motor Truck Company Stock Certificate was issued in 1931 and was signed by founder Watt L. Moreland. The Moreland Motor Truck Company was founded in 1917 in Burbank California.

Moreland manufactured commercial and firetrucks ranging from 1 1/2 tons to 6 tons and eventually offered the first 3 axle 10 ton truck. They were once the largest vehicle manufacturer in the western U.S. in the 1920s. After WW II, materials became scarces and truck production slowed and eventually stopped.

The Burbank plant was subsequently took over by Vega Aircraft Corp to assemble warplanes and bombers for the war effort. Moreland shift to supplying spare parts until it ceased opperations in 1949.
