Odd Shares Class A Stock Specimen Certificate, Black print on blue border and under tint with portrait of company founder Thomas Lipton at top, Specimen overprints and POC’s, VF-XF condition, S-CBNC. Lipton is a British brand of tea, owned by Unilever. The company is named after its founder Thomas Lipton. Sir Thomas Lipton began travelling the world for tea, since sales had doubled from £40 million in the late 1870s to £80 million by the mid-1880s. However, he believed the price was far too high, so in 1890 he purchased his own tea gardens in Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, and packaged and sold the first Lipton tea. Staying true to this vision, he arranged packaging and shipping at low costs and sold his tea in packets by the pound (454g), half pound (227g), and quarter pound (113g), with the advertising slogan: “Direct from the tea gardens to the teapot.” Lipton teas were an immediate success in the United States. �������������������������������� Est. $150-250 Georgia 682 682 Coca-Cola Co.,1960-70’s Specimen Stock Certificate.

This is the earliest Coca-Cola stock certificate that exists. 3 were found in different colors in the 1990’s that were saved from a paper shredder at that time. The three Voting Trustees were composed of: Ernest Woodruff who was born in Columbus, Georgia, the son of Ernest Woodruff, an Atlanta businessman who, among other things, was leader of the group of investors who bought The Coca-Cola Company from Asa Griggs Candler in 1919. His grandfather was Atlanta manufacturing magnate Robert Winship. Eugene W. Stetson of the Guaranty Trust Company of New York formed the Stetson Family Office in 1919 when he organized and arranged for the public offering of the Coca-Cola Company. Stetson also ran the Illinois Central for Averill Harriman at Harriman’s request. He merged the well-capitalized Guaranty Trust Company with the much smaller J.P. Morgan bank. The Stetson School of Business at Mercer University in Atlanta, Georgia was established in his memory. The third trustee, Samuel Candler Dobbs, was president from 1919 to 1920 and chairman of The Coca- Cola Company, from 1919 to 1922. This is it, a historic company and an extremely rare stock certificate. ABNC.������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ Est. $500-800
