Description
This auction is for a Bearer bond for $1000 issued in 1899 by the Northern Alabama Coal, Iron and Railway Co. Vertical format with engraved vignettes of coal miners and steam engines, and including two sheets of coupons (one clipped). Signed and attested by John Carlson (secretary) and E. Zimmerman (president). This is bond number 1. Eugene Zimmerman (1843-1914) of Cincinnati founded several railroads, and helped construct the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad bridge there. In 1905 J.P. Morgan acquired stock in a railroad headed by Zimmerman, who loaded the company with debt and obligations, causing Morgan to lose $12 million on the deal. There are a couple of pieces of tape attached to the top back of the bond that was for mounting purposes. Otherwise, the bond and coupons are in very good condition.PLEASE READ PAYMENT AND SHIPPING OPTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING. If there are any questions or concerns prior to bidding, please e-mail us.
