Knickerbocker Trust Company (New York)A 1927 certificate signed by John Hays Hammond, a mining engineer and financier, on the verso. Hammond began his career in mining in 1879 working for George Hearst. In the 1890's he was hired by Cecil Rhodes to be his chief mining engineer for the Consolidated Gold Fields in South Africa. Returning to the United States in 1899 he served as a consulting engineer for a succession of famous American mining and railroad financiers. Very Fine. 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.
