Extended Information

This rare Polaroid Corporation specimen stock certificate was printed in 1976. The Polaroid Corporation was founded in 1937 and was once the picture of innovative technology with their instant film cameras (shake it like a Polaroid picture!). Polaroid once peaked out at over $3 billion in revenue but as technology caught up with them, they declared bankruptcy in 1991.

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.
