New Jersey, 2nd January, 1833, 2 Shares, I/U, Plain form with decorative counterfoil on left, S/N 2, Has printed "Increased Stock" on top margin, Issued to William B. Astor, signed on the back, but signature not readable and possibly not his. Extremely early and rare New Jersey railroad stock. William Backhouse Astor (1792 _ 1875) was an American property tycoon who inherited most of his father John Jacob Astor's fortune. He worked as a partner in his father's successful export business. His massive investment in Manhattan real estate enabled major donations to the Astor Library in East Village, which became the New York Public Library. (From the collection of John E. Herzog).
