Cumberland as new gen. partner 7/1/45" and signed "M. F. Bonitz, Int. Rev. Agt.", also with pink and white stubs affixed at left, few small imperfections to be expected on such a large document (none mentioned on accompanying certificate)

VERY FINE. THE UNIQUE EXAMPLE OF THE $5,000.00 "SERIES 1944" STOCK TRANSFER ISSUE, USED ON ITS ORIGINAL DOCUMENT. A REMARKABLE ARTIFACT AND REGARDED AS THE MOST IMPORTANT STOCK TRANSFER ISSUE IN EXISTENCE. FROM A NEW FIND AND OFFERED AT AUCTION FOR THE FIRST TIME.

The $5,000.00 denomination of the "Series 1944" overprint was not known to exist until this document was discovered. Its existence was logically assumed, because the $5.000.00 value was issued as part of the other years' series. Whatever the reason for its rarity, proof of the $5,000.00 "Series 1944" did not surface until a few years ago, when a descendant of one of those involved in the transaction brought this document and others to a stamp show, where it was recognized by noted dealer Richard Friedberg, who brokered the sale to Scarsdale.
