DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION:
Many years have passed since the first book on Scripophily was published, and in that time the number of those interested in financial history and the collecting of old bonds and stock certificates has grown enormously.
`Scripophily' is the name given to describe the collecting of original financial documents. This book not only assists the collector in getting started and building a collection, it also provides a synopsis of worldwide financial history, a subject much neglected despite the huge growth in the financial services industry over recent years. The book's coverage of events is intended to encourage both scripophilists and those interested in financial history by bringing alive the original documents on which the subject is based.
The book is divided into three sections, the first provides some general background to the subject and its historical origins, the second covers the main collecting themes by country and subject, and the third offers advice on building, maintaining, valuing and ultimately selling a collection.
Subjects covered range from the origins of share trading in Mesopotamia, almost 4000 years ago, through to the growth and financing of railways during the last century.
