City of Issuance: Canton, GA

Serial # 70

Shares Issued: 100 @ $100 each

Note: I wish I had a reference book to help catalog and document this item properly. The lack of proper referencing material makes the OCD side of me CRAZY! Anyhow…neat certificate. I wish I could find more info about this short-lived company.

Serial # 794 (?)

Shares Issued: 30 @ $100 each

Reference Info = Unknown

Issuer: Georgia Salt Manufacturing Company

Date Issued: May 14, 1862

City of Issuance: Augusta, GA

Serial # 853

Shares Issued: 1 @ $25 each

Note: I wish I had a reference book to help catalog and document this item properly. Again…The lack of proper referencing material makes the OCD side of me CRAZY! I found an article online about how Joseph Brown understood the importance of Salt and he actively shamed all the non-GA owned RailRoad lines into shipping Salt for free as part of the wartime effort.

Reference Info = Unknown

Issuer: Stonewall Insurance Company

Date Issued: June 9th, 1863

City of Issuance: Atlanta, GA

Serial # 4

Shares Issued: 10 @ $100 each

Note: I wish I had a reference book to help catalog and document this item properly. Anyhow…neat certificate. Ironically, Stonewall Jackson was shot by his own troops and died (May 10th, 1863) about a month before this stock certificate was issued
