Partly-printed DS, signed “Henry Wells” and “Wm. G. Fargo,” one page, 12 x 8.5, May 1, 1866. Handsomely engraved certificate for eight shares of capital stock in the American Express Company, issued to Orlando Meads of Albany, signed at the conclusion by Wells as president and Fargo as secretary. Includes the receipt document signed by Meads upon surrendering the stock to the company in 1868. Unobtrusive intersecting folds (some with slight edge separations), light edge toning and chipping, and a cancellation stamp affecting the last few letters of Wells’s signature, otherwise fine condition. A supremely attractive stock certificate from the early years of what has become one of the most influential companies in the world.
