It's been a while since we posted anything......had to get use to life with a newborn baby which has been great! Now back to Beer Fun once again!
We just got back from picking up a True GDM-12 Refrigerator that will allow us to Lager brews to the exact temperatures that are needed. We are very excited about this new addition and hope to have some brew in it very soon!
All that is needed now is to weld up the new Brew Cart that will hold our Electric Brewing System.

We are adding another very cool piece of history to our collection! Here is a Common Stock Certificate from the Norfolk & Western Railroad Company from 1886.

A large part of scripophily is the area of financial history. Over the years there have been millions of companies which needed to raise money for their business. In order to do so, the founders of these companies issued securities. Generally speaking, they either issued an equity security in the form of stock or a debt security in the form of a bond. However, there are many varieties of equity and debt instruments. They can be common stock, preferred stock, warrants, cumulative preferred stocks, bonds, zero-coupon bonds, long term bonds (over 15 years) and any combination thereof.

Each certificate is a piece of history about a company and its business. Some companies became major successes, while others were acquired and merged with other companies. Some companies and industries were successful until they were replaced by new technologies. Some companies have been the center of scandal or fraud. The color, paper, signatures, dates, stamps, cancellations, borders, pictures, vignettes, industry, stock broker, name of company, transfer agent, printer, and holder name all add to the uniqueness of the hobby.

A lot of companies either were never successful or went bankrupt, so that their certificates became worthless pieces of paper until the hobby of scripophily began. The mining boom in the 1850s, railroad construction in the 1830s, the oil boom in the 1870s, telegraphy (1850s), the automobile industry beginning around 1900, aviation (around 1910), electric power and banks in the 1930s, the airline wars and mergers in the 1970s, cellular telephones (1980s), long distance telephone service in the 1980s and 1990s, and most recently the Dot-com era and Enron all resulted in historically significant certificates being generated and issued.

Today, more stocks and bonds are issued electronically, meaning fewer paper certificates are issued as a percentage of actual stock issued. The Internet has played a dramatic role in raising awareness of the hobby. A number of websites now exist that sell old stocks and bonds to include scripophily.com and oldstocks.com.

Adding to the Wild West Historic Artifact Collection is this awesome Morgan Liberty Silver Dollar Coin with with a Swank Coin Clip holding it.

The Morgan Silver dollars represent the best in silver coin manufacturing at its time. It's the most valuable of the silver coins the United States has minted in the late 1800's and early 1900's partly because of it's size, and silver content.
This is not a coin you want to carry around in your pocket normally. At near 27 grams and an inch and a half in diameter this baby is large and heavy by modern day coin standards.

Holding this beautiful coin is a Swank Inc Money Clip, this company has been making high quality mens accessories since 1897 and represents quality as it's products are designed to while being elegant.

The date on the Coin also has a special significance to it.....1887 was the year the "Buffalo Bill Cody" took his Wild West Show international as it debuted in London on this year, sharing the adventures of the Wild West to people from a far.
