Extended Information

This Rochester Telephone Corp $1000 Specimen Bond certificate is from 1946. Rochester Telephone was founded in 1920 to provide local telephone service in Rochester, NY. They expanded to cover 14 states and diversified into other industries. In 1995 they became the Frontier Company and part of the now defunct Global Crossing in 1999. They are now Frontier Communications.

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.
