Extended Information

This very rare Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation Specimen Stock was printed in the 1920s and features Adolph Zukor as company president. Famous Players-Lasky was an American movie company formed in 1916 from the merger of Adolph Zukor's Famous Players Film Company and the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company. They would become one of the biggest production companies in the silent film era. In 1927, they reorganized as Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation and later the Paramount Pictures Corporation.

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.
