Edward H. Harriman -  Peoria, Decatur & Evansville Railway Company (Illinois) An 1881 dated certific
Edward H. Harriman - Peoria, Decatur & Evansville Railway Company (Illinois) An 1881 dated certificate in green and black for 100 shares issued to E.H. Harriman & Co. and signed on the verso for the company by Edward H. Harriman. Harriman was known for his genius in developing and reinvesting in railroads. His stock market battle for control of the Northern Pacific against the combination of J. Pierpont Morgan and James J. Hill remains one of Wall Street's great wars. A true financial wizard, Harriman was known as the "Napoleon of Wall Street." Very Fine with punch and stamp cancellations not affecting Harriman's signature. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
