This 12” x 8” stock certificate is punch cancelled “SPECIMEN” in several places, along with punched “+2.+6.79” and “USBN SECOL” marks. Bright carmen-red at the left border on manila paper with black ink writing. Signed by Carl H. Wilhams, President, and Peter C. Lewis, Secretary. A vignette of King Kamehameha is at the top. Accompanied by the artist’s original painting for the vignette, done in shades of grey and gold by hand in paint and affixed to a stiff carboard panel with recognition numerals and size requirements listed. Also included is a glossy print of the vignette, no doubt by the artists as well – as “they” say, the artwork alone is worth the price of admission. Rare and collectable, with unique artwork too! (Total: 3 pieces)
From Holabird-Kagin’s sale of December 2012, Lot 548.
