About This Item
Philadelphia: Breuker & Kessler Co. Lith., 1901. 13½ x 9¼ inches. Printed certificate with cloth binding strip along top edge; attached coupon sheet. Printed recto and verso. Cancellation. Blind seal. Previous folds; lacking a coupon sheet; else fine.
Mortgage coupon, five-percent gold bond issued by the newly re-organized Wiscasset, Waterville, and Farmington Railroad. The company, which traces its roots to the 1830s, subsequently developed as a narrow-gauge railroad in the 1890s, the Wiscasset and Quebec, but soon went into receivership. Leonard Atwood took it over in 1901 and reorganized it, signing the bond here as company president. Attached to the bond is an uncut sheet of coupons, each redeemable for $2.50. A vignette illustration depicts a locomotive with tender and a railcar.
