DE. 1968. Specimen. $5,000. 4?% convertbile registered bond due 1993. Vignette of 2 allegorical men with airplane propeller and small planes in background. The company's founder was Walter Herschel Beech. Beech and another local aviator named Lloyd Stearman decided to start their own business and formed the Travel Air Company. In 1925, Clyde Cessna and Beech started a partnership that was relatively short lived. Travel Air began as a very successful venture. The company's planes garnered numerous awards of their design and won many flight comepetitions- often when piloted by Walter Beech. Early designs were powered by Curtiss-Wright engines, marking the beginning of an important business relationship. However, a conflict arose between Beech and Cessna, the company's president. Although Travel Air was recording decent sales from its line of biplanes, Cessna was determined that the company should immediately begin work on a new single-wing design. Beech and Cessna split up when Cessna wanted to work on a new single wing airplane and Beech did not. Beech was invited to make Travel Air part of the powerful Curtiss-Wright Corp., which represented the surviving business interests of aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss and the Wright Brothers. Travel Air merged with Curtiss-Wright in 1930 and as part of the deal, Beech was asked to serve as president of the company. The year also marked Beech's marriage to Olive Ann Mellor, who had been working as the office manager for Travel Air. Beech continued to work with her husband, now in the capacity of business advisor, at which she proved highly adept, having thoroughly learned about the aircraft industry. On November 29, 1950, Walter Beech died suddenly of a heart attack. He was succeeded by his wife, Olive Ann, who became one of the first female chief executives in American business.

MN. 1960-70's. Specimen. Odd shs, common, red. Vignette of woman seated between 2 globes with small airplanes. In 1910, a young Sicilian named Giuseppe Mario Bellanca emigrated to the United States with dreams of building aircraft in the New World. Bellanca went on to form the Bellanca Aircraft Corporation late in 1927, backed by financing from a Delaware consortium. Orders for new aircraft started piling up quicker that they could be filled. The Bellanca model P-100 Airbus (later renamed the Aircruiser), capable of carrying 14-15 passengers, was introduced in 1930. The following year, pilot George Haldeman flew 4,400 miles (7,081 kilometers) in an Airbus, staying aloft for 35 hours. Only 23 P-100 Aircrusiers were built, largely because many in the aviation community were reluctant to buy an aircraft powered by a water-cooled engine. Bellanca's model CH-400, named Miss Veedol, made the first transpacific crossing in 1931. Powered by a 425-horsepower (317-kilowatt) Pratt & Whitney engine, Miss Veedol, with pilot Clyde Pangborn at the controls, flew 4,558 miles (7,335 kilometers) from Japan to Wenatchee, Washington, in 41 hours. For the next half-decade, Bellanca airplaces such as the Skyrocket established numerous world records for endourance and distance flying. A Bellanca Pathfinder made the seond transatlantic flight, flying from the United States in Spain and then on to Italy. In May 1931, a Bellanca Pacemaker, powered by an efficient diesel-fueled 225-horsepower (168-kilowatt) Packard engine, remained aloft for 84 hours 32 minutes without refueling-a duration record that would stand for 55 years until surpassed by the around-the-world flight of the Rutan Voyager in 1986! Two months later, another Bellanca Pacemaker named the Cape Cod flew non-stop across the Atlantic to Istanbul, Turkey, establishing yet another flight distance record of 5,012 miles (8,066 kilometers).

When his plane crashed, the bombs exploded, badly wounding Seversky, killing his observer and causing the loss of one of his leg below the knee. In July 1916, Seversky returned to combat duty and downed his first enemy plane three days later. Soon after that he quickly scored three more victories. He flew 57 sorties in all and shot down 13 German aircraft to become Russia's top naval ace during WWI. He developed the first gyroscopically stabilized bombsight in 1923 and also had a hand inventing in-flight refueling.

DE. 1927. Specimen. Alfred Victor Verville was born on November 19, 1890 in Atlantic Mine, Michigan. His career as an aircraft designer and builder spanned nearly fifty years, during which his genius and vision enabled him to influence the advancement of aviation during its formative years. Verville joined Curtiss Airplane Company in 1914, and he aided in the design of many Curtiss planes, including the first "Jenny" training plane, and the Curtiss F Flying Boat. In 1915 he organized the General Airplane Company of Detroit, producing the Verville Flying Boat and the Verville Twin Float Pusher. After WWI broke out, Verville joined the U.S. Army Service. In 1920 the young engineer gained national prominence when his Verville-Packard Racer won the first Pulitzer Speed Classic Trophy. After touring Europe with Gereral Billy Mitchell to assess the development of aviation there, Verville was asked by General Mitchell to design an airplane for the Air Service entry in the 1922 National Air Races. Verville designed the Verville-Sperry Racer. This plane was one of the first airplanes with retractable landing gear. Though it did not win the race, with some adjustments, it flew away with the 1924 Pulitzer Speed Trophy. The true importance of the Racer design was recognized in 1961, when it was selected as one of the twelve most significant aircraft of all time. In 1925 he organized the Buhl-Aircraft Company, producing the Buhl-Verville Airster. In 1927 he organized the Verville Aircraft Company, producing the Verville Coach, AT Trainer, and YPT-10. He served as engineer and consultant with Douglas, Curtiss Wright, and Snead aircraft companies, and Drexel Aviation, and he contributed 16 years of service to the Federal government, primarily with the Bureau of Aeronautics, before retiring in 1961. Alfred Verville has been honored with ten Certificates or Letters of Commendations from the U.S. Armed Forces.

Saturn Airways was one of the founding member of the National Air Carrier Association, Inc. (NACA), an air carrier trade assocation. One of the reasons for forming the association was to maintain a strong relationship with the Department of Defense. Because the "Federal Aviation Act of 1958" required Supplemental Carriers to be certificated, the Department of Defense (DOD) made a decision to only contract is passenger and cargo air transportation services to certificated air carriers. In 1972, NACA was one of the initial members appointed to the National Defense Transportation Association Military Airlift Committee. This Committee was established as an official government advisory committee to assist to Commander-in-Chief, Military Airlift Command and later the Commander-in-Chief United States Transportation Command, in better understanding the commercial aviation community and how the civilian air carriers could better assist the air transportation needs of the Department of Defense. In December 1967 and January 1968, respectively, Saturn took delivery of two Douglas DC-8 Super 61CF jets.

Thomas J. Lipton Company bears the name of its founder, an immigrant of Irish descent that sailed to the United States in 1865. In 1881, Lipton imported, displayed and sold the largest cheese that had ever been made. The "Jumbo" cheese consumed the milk of eight hundred cows and the labor of two hundred dairymaids. It was wheeled from the dock and down streets lined with cheering spectators. Right before Christmas, Lipton hit upon the idea of inserting gold coins into the cheese. When the cheese was cut up on Christimas Eve a police squad had to be called to control the crowd. Within two hours every ounce of the mammoth cheese had been sold. In the 1880s Lipton's business grew to more than 200 stores and Lipton became a multimillionaire. When he finally decided to start selling tea, Lipton wanted to travel abroad and find his own tea supply, rather than relying on middlemen. He went to India in 1890 to peruse the tea plantations, initating an important new chapter in his life. The Lipton name would eventually become nearly synonymous with tea in the Western word. Lipton was operating five tea plantations by the mid-1890s, but demand was simply too great, forcing him to open other plantations. In England, Lipton became associated with several members of the Royal family, was knighted and established himself as an international figure. Lipton went public with its first stock offering in 1897. Famous tea and food company. Rare certificates from this historic company. SCBNC. XF.

Hartford, CT. 1964. Specimen. Odd shs, Common Stock, blue. Vignette of Charter Oaks Football team. The Continental Football League was an American football league played in North America from 1965 through 1969. It was established as a minor league. It had hoped to be the "major force" in professional football outside of the National Football League and American Football League. Bill Walsh, Ken Stabler and Sam Wyche were among a few players and coaches who would later gain fame in the NFL. The ContFL was primarily formed from teams in the United and Atlantic Coast Football Leagues. The Newark Bears, Springfield Acorns, Richmond Rebels , and Hartford Charter Oaks, came from the ACFL. The Springfield franchise was relocated to Norfolk, VA, where it was renamed the Neptunes , prior to the start of the season. The ACFL, though also losing the Atlanta and Westchester franchises, continued with the 8 remaining teams: Jersey City, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Scranton in the Southern Division; and, New Bedford, Boston, Mohawk Valley, and Holyoke in the Northern Division. The league adopted a "professional" appearance. The teams were sorted into two divisions and each time sported a 36-man roster with a 5-man "taxi" squad. Each franchise met the financial requirements of a $5,000 franchise fee and the posting of a $25,000 letter of credit. The rules were primarily those of the NFL except that a "sudden death" overtime period was employed to break ties. The league named A.B. "Happy" Chandler, the former Kentucky Governor and retired Commissioner of Baseball, as its first Commissioner on March 17, 1965.

He invited friends and acquaintances in northern Utah to go to Oregon and homestead timber tracts and work for him. He and his associates also built the Sumpter Valley and Mount Hood railroads. All of these operations were profitable and Eccles shipped much of the finished lumber to Utah where it was used in building homes. In 1874 for three months Eccles attended Louis Moench's school in Ogden. At Moench's school David met Bertha Marie Jensen, whom he married in 1875. They had 12 children together. Eccles was admired by Ellen Stoddard, the daughter of one of his partners, John Stoddard. As loyal Mormons, both David and Ellen recognized that he might marry a second wife. After a brief courtship they were married. Ellen remained in Baker for several years, after which she established a home in Logan. She and David had nine children.

DE. 1984. Specimen. Odd shs, Common Stock. Blue. Cartoon character of "Crazy Eddie". In 1989, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil action against Crazy Eddie founder Eddie Antar and a group of former executives, accusing them of manipulating the value of the company's stock by overstating profits and sales in financial reports. The complaint alleged that Antar, members of his family, and company executives engaged in securities fraud and insider trading from the time the company first went public in 1985 until 1989. Antar, the complaint charged, made over $60 million from the conspiracy, selling off stock just before the real results of Crazy Eddie's evidently at best marginally profitable operations became public. In 1989 the chain suffered a mojor scandal when Eddie Antar and his family were accused (and eventually convicted) of "cooking the books" in order to skim money and inflate inventory. Antar was found to have sold used electronics as new, committed insurance fraud, faked inventory, and skimmed most of the cash payments to avoid taxes. Having taken the company public (the stock was soon worth hundreds of millions), Antar began selling his stock and the stock price began to collapse. The firm was bought in a hostile takeover by another company, but the buyers were quick to find that some $80 million in inventory did not exist. Antar fled to Israel using the name David Cohen, where he lived until 1994 when he was extradited back to the United States. He was subsequently sentenced to eight years in jail, ordered to pay over $150 million in fines and also owes more than a billion dollars from civil suits. Extremely rare stock that is "INSANE!"

It was not until after the president of the brokerage firm, Scott Pierce (the brother of Barbara Bush, wife of the then-vice-president of the U.S.), entered his corporation's guilty plea to 2000 criminal courts of federal mail and wire fraud in 1985, that the Hutton conglomerate fell apart.

Standard Oil began as an Ohio partnership formed by the well-known industrialist John D. Rockefeller, his brother William Rockefeller, Henry Flagler, chemist Samuel Andrews, and a silent partner Stephen V. Harkness. In 1870, the Standard Oil Company was incorporated in Ohio. This would later become Sohio, and was the leading organization in the Standard Oil Trust for many years. Using highly effective and widely criticized tactics, Standard Oil absorbed or destroyed most of its competition in Cleveland, Ohio, then throughout the northeastern United States. In 1882, they combined their disparate companies, spread across dozens of states, under a single group of trustees. This organization proved so successful that othe giant enterprises adopted this "trust" from. At the same time, state and federal laws sought to counter this development with "anti-trust" laws. Ohio successfully sued Standard Oil, compelling the dissolution of the trust in 1892. Eventually, New Jersey changed its incorporation laws to allow a single company to hold shares in other companies in any state. In 1899, the Standard Oil Trust was legally reborn as a holding company, a corporation known as the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. SCBNC. XF.

In 1882, Standard Oil Company of New Jersey ("Standard") was formed to take advantage of New Jersey laws that allowed corporations to own stock in other corporations. In 1892, due to court action by the State of Ohio, the Standard Oil Trust officially dissolved. Jersey Standard becomes the controlling organization for Standard. ABNC. XF.

Honeywell traces its roots back to 1885, when an inventor named Albert Butz Patented the furance regulator and alarm. He formed the Butz Thermo-Electric Regulator Co., Minneapolis, in 1886 and a few weeks later invented a simple, yet ingenious device that he called the "damper flapper" which became the backbone of Honeywell. In 1904 a young engineer named Mark Honeywell, was perfecting the heat generator as part of his plumbing and heating business and later formed the Honeywell Heating Specialty Co, specializing in hot water heat generators. In 1955, a joint venture called Datamatic Corporation, was established with Raytheon Corp. that marked Honeywell's entry into the computer business. The company's first computer system, the D-1000, weighted 25 tons, took up 6,000 square feet and cost $1.5 million. Raytheon's interest in the computer venture was bought out in 1960 and the business name changed to Electronic Date Processing (EDP). In 1970, Honeywell merged its computer business with General Electric's to form Honeywell Information System, which performed well in mainframe markets. In 1986, Honeywell significantly enhanced its position in the aerospace industry with the purchase of Sperry Aerospace. Today, Honeywell is a multinatioal corporation that is not only a leading supplier to home, office and industrial control systems, but also a major defense contractor and an integral part of America's space exploration program. Honeywell products include turboprop engines, flight safety and landing systems, automation and controls, heating, ventilation, materials used in semiconductors, polymers for electronics, fibers, friction materials and consumer car products.

International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is the largest computer maker in the world. Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (C-T-R) was formed in 1910 by Charles Ranlett Flint and is the predecessor company to IBM. In 1912 , along with John Patterson, his former employer at National Cash Register, Thomas Watson, (Sr.) was convicted of violating the Sherman Antitrust Act on behalf of "NCR" to eliminate their competition. Watson never admitted any wrongdoing, and in 1915 the government dropped its case against NCR after the company became famous for its help during a catastrophic flood in its hometown of Dayton, Ohio. In 1914, Flint hired a new general manager for "C-T-R", Thomas Watson, (Sr.), who was already a well-known, if not notorious, figure in U.S. business. In 1915 he was made president of "CTR". In 1924, C-T-R's name was formally changed to International Business Machines Corporation. Historic certificate of one of the computer age pioneers. SBNC.
