PEPSI-COLA UNITED BOTTLERS 100 Share Stock Certificate 1962 Green - Scarce!

Description

Rare, vintage collectible piece of the Cola history.  Includes a vignette of woman with globe, with a pictured bottle of Pepsi Cola.
This certificate is in near-perfect condition, has been punch cancelled - and was printed by the Columbian Bank Note Company.  This is absolutely authentic, NOT a reproduction.  As many of you already know, paper stock and bond certificates have nearly completely gone away in favor of electronic 'book-entry' ownership.  Physical certificates have become very collectible, and an important part of Wall Street history.  Unlike collectibles such as sports cards, stamps, coins, etc. where 100s of millions are still being produced each year, the available supply of stock certificates is now nearly fixed.
