An in-depth study of SCRIPOPHILY: Collecting Bonds and Share Certificates.
"This hobby has all the lure of stamp-collecting with a far greater variety of themes to pursue Czarist Russia, Imperial China or Australia; shipping lines, tramway companies or railroads; sewage works, diamond mines or famous signatures the possibilities are endless.
The old bonds and share certificates are early financial documents and their historical and economic backgrounds are clearly explained. This is an important aspect of scripophily because if still valid the bond or certificate can be worth a lot more than a first glance might suggest!
Bonds and share certificates are often finely engraved, sometimes printed in exquisite colors, occasionally extremely rare but always original and can be bought for ?1 or ?5,000 the choice is yours.
Part 1 covers the background and history of scripophily, Part 2 describes some of the collecting themes, by country and by subject, and Part 3 gives advice on how and where to buy (and sell), what pitfalls to avoid, and how to look after your collection. The appendices include dealers and auction houses, societies and publications, a bibliography and examples of recent auction sales as a price guide.
