Premier dealers in collectible stock certificates and bonds are pleased to announce their acquisition of the entire archive of over 300,000 stocks issued by the historically important Northern Pacific Railroad and its branch lines. Chartered in 1864, The Northern Pacific Railroad completed a connection from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Coast. Encompassing over 100 different Railroads and connected companies, the holding offers an extremely important view of railroad finance in the developing Northwestern United States. This is the most significant archive of financial stocks to come to the marketplace in a decade, says Scott Winslow of Scott J. Winslow Associates.

This group promises to be a catalyst for growth of the stock and bond hobby known as “Scripophily”. The number of well-known Wall Street figures who appear as shareholders signing certificates is remarkable. This is a virtual who’s who of American financial historical figures including John D. Rockefeller,  J. Pierpont Morgan,  Jay Gould, E. H. Harriman, important banker Jay Cooke, John S. Pillsbury; founder of Pillsbury Co, August Belmont of Belmont Stakes Fame, William Fargo; co-founder of Wells- Fargo, and Henry Ward Beecher; Anti-Slavery Reformer.

It’s a rare opportunity indeed that an archive of this nature may be cataloged for future generations of collectors and students of financial history. These are the source documents of American capitalism. They represent what made America great!  Scott Winslow Associates, George LaBarre Gallaries and Scripophily.com will  offer these to anyone interested in owning an important piece of American history. Many people believe that this type of collection is restricted to a few museums, but this is far from the truth. In fact, many significant private collections exist offering a wealth of history and enjoyment.

Collectors, Museums, Archivists, and anyone interested in learning more about this historic find are most welcome to phone Scott Winslow at 800 225-6233, George LaBarre at 800-717-9529 or Bob Kerstein (Scripophily.com) 888–STOCKS6 ( 1-888-786-2576 ).
