Stamped SPECIMEN and hole punched cancelled. A specimen stock certificate is an original authentic stock certificate with usually just a few certificates printed by the banknote companies to give to their sales people to show as examples of their printing. They are identical to the issued certificates except that they usually have the word Specimen printed or stamped on them. Because there are so few Specimens, they are much rarer than the issued certificates.
The Boeing Company has a rich history in aerospace, dating back to the early days of aviation. Here's a glimpse into its journey:
Early Days (1916-1920s):
Founded in 1916 by William Boeing in Seattle, Washington, initially as Pacific Aero Products Company.
Built seaplanes, with the "B&W" being their first creation.
Renamed Boeing Airplane Company in 1917.
Supplied training planes to the US Navy during World War I.
Post-War and Commercial Expansion (1920s-1930s):
Faced a surplus of military aircraft post-war, forcing them to diversify.
Entered the commercial aviation market with models like the Model 247 and 307 Stratoliner (first pressurized cabin airliner).
Established airmail services and merged with Boeing Airplane & Transport Corporation, encompassing both manufacturing and airline operations.
Wartime Production and Growth (1940s-1960s):
Became a major supplier of military aircraft during World War II, including the iconic B-17 Flying Fortress and B-29 Superfortress bombers.
Continued developing commercial jets like the Boeing 707, ushering in the jet age.
The Jet Age and Beyond (1960s-Present):
Introduced revolutionary commercial airplanes like the 727, 737 (one of the best-selling aircraft in history), and the wide-body 747 jumbo jet.
Faced competition from Airbus and underwent mergers, including the significant acquisition of McDonnell Douglas in 1997.
Continued developing new aircraft models like the 777 and the Dreamliner series, focusing on fuel efficiency and passenger comfort.
Today:
Boeing remains a major player in the aerospace industry, with both commercial and military aircraft production.
They also manufacture rotorcraft, rockets, satellites, and missiles
