About Old Bonds

A bond certificate, like a share, is an 'evidence of title;' a document given to an investor as evidence of ownership of an amount of invested capital. It does not in itself prove ownership.
  • Bonds are issued, not only by businesses, but also by national, state, or city governments, or other public bodies, or sometimes by individuals.
  • Bonds are a loan to the company or other body; they are normally repayable within a stated period.
  • Bonds earn interest at a fixed rate, which must usually be paid by the undertaking regardless of its financial results.
  • A bondholder is a creditor of the undertaking.

Autographed Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna Bond

Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón (21 February 1794 – 21 June 1876),[1] often known as Santa Anna[2] or López de Santa Anna, was a Mexican political leader, general and President who greatly influenced early Mexican and Spanish politics and government. He first fought against the independence from Spain, and then supported it.

Santa Anna rose to the ranks of general and president at various times over a turbulent 40-year career. He was President of Mexico on seven non-consecutive occasions over a period of 22 years.

Santa Anna boldly signs this extremely graphic bond. It is without doubt the most impressive and ornate of all autographed stock or bonds. This $500 bond was issued in 1866 from New York City while Santa Anna was living in exile. While he schemed to depose Emperor Maximilian, he issued these bonds in hopes of regaining power. In these attempts, he was captured and sentenced to death. Still, he was released and allowed to retire to New York and later when blind, he died in poverty and neglect. Of course, we remember him because of his success over the Texans at the Alamo and later his defeat and capture by Sam Houston at San Jacinto in 1836.

Found in an old leather container in Texas, this Santa Anna signed American bond is fully issued, uncancelled, has no folds, has full margins and is in Superb condition.

About Old Shares

A share certificate is an 'evidence of title;' a document given to an investor as evidence of ownership of an amount of invested capital. It does not in itself prove ownership. Newcomers to scripophily often want to know the difference.
  • Shares are issued by businesses (usually companies)
  • Shares form part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his money only by selling to another investor.
  • Most shares earn dividends, at the business' discretion, depending on how well it has traded.,
  • A shareholder is a part-owner of the business.
