Description
A striking historical piece featuring an original Chicago & Alton Railroad Company bond certificate for £200, backed by the State of Illinois. The certificate, beautifully preserved, showcases intricate typography, ornate border design, and a golden embossed seal, making it both a financial relic and a work of art. The frame is gilt with classic molding, though it does show a small chip at the top left corner. Bonds of this type were issued to raise capital for rail expansion in the 1800s and are now highly collectible as Americana and financial ephemera.
