1946, Delaware. Warrant to purchase 100 shares of Pan American Airways Corporation. BlueBlack. Issued to and signed on the accompanying assignment by Charles Revson. CHARLES REVSON (1906 - 1975). Founder of Revlon.Upon his failure to secure the job of national distributor in the cosmetics firm where he worked, Revson convinced his brother and Charles Lachman, a chemist, to start their own business, Revlon Cosmetics. They specialized in nail polishes in a greater variety of colors than was available elsewhere, and sold them first through salons then through department stores. Eventually they introduced matching lipsticks, and introduced marketing innovations such as exotic names for the products&#39 colors. Though Revson&#39s perfectionist personality drove his partners to quit by 1965, the business was phenomenally successful under his leadership, first as president (1932-62) then as chairman (1962-75). Today the company stands as one of the world&#39s leading cosmetic firms. Printed facsimilie signature of Juan Trippe. A seldom seen autograph of this important American business figure. Lightly punch cancelled and Extremely Fine.
