#4 – 1927 Railroad poster and Stock Certificate from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Poster : 100 years of the Railroad. Baltimore and Ohio Centenary Pageant. Baltimore September 24th - October 8th 1927. Original poster commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) Railroad, also known as the Iron Horse Centennial. At this event, B&O had its modern and vintage engines on display and rolled out its original Tom Thumb engine from 1827. Video clips of this event many be seen on YouTube.com. The poster in vivid color, shows an illustration of the Tom Thumb with an engineer and fireman, with a more modern engine above it. Professionally framed and restored on acid-free paper; it has been sealed and untouched since, 42"H x 28"W. Included in this lot is an uncirculated B&O New York stock certificate No.6229 for 100 shares at value of $100 each, printed by the American Banknote Company. ABC was founded in 1795 and printed stock certificates and postage stamps; it still operates today. If issued, a shareholder would have paid $10,000 for this certificate. Worthy of note, the certificate states that it is not valid financially unless countersigned by the transfer agent, which it is not. It was signed, however, by John Kissig Cowen, President of the B&O from 1896 to 1901, which validates the certificate’s age. The certificate is in excellent original condition. The issuing/redemption portion is folded over and is underneath the stock certificate. Professionally framed about 40 years ago on acid-free paper and has been sealed and untouched since.

#5 – 3 pieces of steamship art. Travel poster translation " Hamburg, Germany's greatest Seaport" "Hamburg-America Line, Germany's greatest Steamship Co." Pictures the port of Hamburg with a striking bow shot of an ocean liner maneuvering with tugboats ready to assist. The logo at the bottom is HAPAG which today is HAPAG-Lloyd one of the largest container shipping companies in the world. Before WWII, the Hamburg America Line was one of the world's largest passenger and freight steamship lines, founded in the 1840's. Shades of grey with red highlight, professionally framed in navy blue metal, 33"T x 24"W. Reproduction of 1920's French travel poster "Antilles Centre Amerique" from the steamship company "Compagnie Generale Transatlantique" which translates to General Transatlantic Company, which later became known as the French Line. Shows a couple relaxing by a tropical harbor with the Ocean Liner Flandre at anchor in the harbor. Tropical pastel colors. Excellent condition. Professionally framed in a navy blue metal frame, 35"H x 24"W. United States Lines Stock certificate no. CPO1397 for 10 Preferred shares, sold to James Beck of Oak Park, IL in April 1930 and sold in July of that year. Transaction information is on the reverse side of the framed document. The certificate includes an engraving of the SS Leviathan. It was built in 1913 in Germany as the SS Vaterland and was interned while docked in Hoboken, NJ at the outbreak of World War 1 in 1914. At that time, it was the world’s largest ship. The US War Shipping Board seized it in 1917 and it was turned over to the US Navy as a troopship, SS Leviathan. Following WW1, it was retained as a war prize and given to the United States Lines as its flagship. It carried 250,000+ passengers, without earning a cent, until 1934, when it was sold for scrap. US ocean liners were not popular during the 1920’s and early 1930’s; during Prohibition, they were considered US territory and hence were “dry” ships. Americans flocked to the foreign carriers which continued serving alcoholic beverages during Prohibition. United States Lines went defunct in 1992.
