EXTREMELY FINE. FABULOUS CONDITION FOR THIS VERY SIGNIFICANT REVENUE STAMPED PAPER RARITY.

No railroad was more controversial than the Erie. It became involved in a tug-of-war between Commodore Vanderbilt, John S. Eldridge of the Boston, Hartford and Erie, and Daniel Drew, Jim Fisk and Jay Gould. The Commodore tried to corner the stock and push it up. Drew, Fisk and Gould secretly conspired to pillage the Erie and shorted the stock. Albany legislators were tampered with, judges corrupted, and in the end a stalemate prevailed. Gould eventually got control, rehabilitated the railroad, and made it profitable. (Image)
