American Machine & Foundry Co., $500 Specimen 4 1/4% Bond, Purple, XF, ABNC. American Machine and Foundry (known after 1970 as AMF, Inc.) was one of the United States’ largest recreational equipment companies, with diversified products as disparate as garden equipment, atomic reactors, pool tables and yachts. The company was founded in 1900 by Rufus L. Patterson, inventor of the first automated cigarette manufacturing machine. AMF moved into the bowling business after World War II, when AMF automated bowling equipment and bowling centers became profitable business ventures. Bicycle production was added in 1950. The company was once a major manufacturer of products from tennis racquets to research reactors for the US’ “Atoms for Peace” program. AMF became a major part of what would soon be referred to by US President Dwight D. Eisenhower as “the military-industrial complex” after World War II. Until the mid-1980s, AMF’s range of consumer goods included powered model airplanes, snow skis, lawn and garden equipment, Ben Hogan golf clubs, Voit inflatable balls, exercycles and exercise equipment, Hatteras Yachts, Alcort Sailboats, Nimble bicycles, motorized bicycles, mopeds, and SCUBA gear. For a time, AMF owned Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The company’s vast diversified output proved difficult to efficiently manage, and after suffering a series of losses, the company sold off its operations. �������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Est. $120-220 534 534 BethlehemSteel Corp, 1912 Specimen Bond Bethlehem Steel Corp, 1912 $100 Specimen 5% Series A Gold Bond, Orange, ABNC. �������������������������������������� Est. $130-240 535 535 Bethlehem Steel Corp, 1950s Specimen Bond Bethlehem Steel Corp, 1950s $10,000 Registered 4 1/4% Specimen Bond, XF, ABNC.������������������������������ Est. $120-220 536 536 General Cable Corp., 1928 Specimen Bond New Jersey. $500 Specimen 5 1/2% Series B 1st Mortgage Sinking Fund Gold Coupon Bond, Black print on blue border and under tint, Allegorical giant woman with trains at top, Specimen overprints and POC’s, Fine condition with splitting along fold lines, FL-ABNC.
