Extended Information

This Western Maryland Railroad Company Gold Bond was issued to John D. Rockefeller in 1917. The certificate is boldly issued to Rockefeller, not signed.

Standard Oil was founded by John D. Rockefeller and Henry Flagler in 1863 and would become the largest and most powerful company in the world. J.D. Rockefeller would go down in history as one of the richest and most powerful men in U.S. history. In 1911, Standard Oil was ruled a Monopoly by the Supreme Court and subsequently broken up into 43 smaller regional companies. Almost every major American oil company today can trace its history back to Standard Oil in some way. .
