Union Mining Company stock certificate Number 219 for 50 shares issued to William R. Allen. It was signed by both the treasurer, H. B. Leach, and the president, Strcklan d'Knears, November 24, 1865. The company offices were located Philadelphia, Pennsylvania which makes this a rare stock certificate. It was very difficult for eastern finacier companies to invest in western mining. The certificate itself has a decorative scalloped border, decorative text, and a vignette of a reclining miner with pick and hammer in the top center. One stamp for 25-cents is present on the front of the certificate and another for 25-cents is present on the back. The certificate is 10"x8" and in very good condition. The Union Minig Company was located in the Union Mining District near the Reese River in central Nevada.
