Cert. #189, issued for 50 shares to Geo. G. Hastings in 1866. Signed by Jacob Goedel as president. In 1865, Henry Wurtz, of New York invented a new and improved method of extracting gold and other precious metals from their ores and from other materials by amalgamation. The method consists of adding a minute quantity of highlyelectro-positive metals such as sodium, potassium, lithium, caesium, barium, strontium etc. to the quicksilver used for the amalgamation of gold, silver and other precious metals. This invention was patented. The company was incorporated the year after. The company incorporated in New York and on the header it states, "Invention Secured In the United States By Letters Patent." We last had one of these in 2001, so it is very rare. A quite historical piece in the history of mining. VF. Uncanceled. Date: Country (if not USA): State: New York City: Provenance:
