Extended Information

This scarce New York Telephone Company Specimen Gold Bond certificate is from 1921. Founded in 1896 to consolidate the Metropolitan Telephone and Telegraph Company and the Westchester Telephone Company. They were eventually acquired by AT&T.

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.
