Offered here is a September 19, 1905, dated certificate for 70 shares of capital stock in The Colt Gun & Carriage Company Ltd. issued to one William Palmer Esq. The certificate is signed at the bottom by both directors of the company and the secretary. The top of the certificate is numbered "2769" next to a vignette of cartridges and ammunition boxes above a scene of soldiers in a machine gun nest with iconic Colt 1895 "Potato Digger" machine guns. There is a bronze seal at the lower left side embossed with a 1895 Machine gun surrounded by a belt link.

Excellent, with limited storage and handling marks. The black ink has some light fading but is entirely legible. The blue ink shows little to no signs of fading. The seal is very fine with some creasing and light wear. This would make for an excellent display in any Colt Collection!
