Partly-printed DS, signed “Henry Wells" and "Wm. G. Fargo,” one page, 12 x 8.25, January 16, 1865. Handsomely engraved stock certificate for two shares in the American Express Company, issued to Charles B. Holt of Albany. Signed at the conclusion by Henry Wells as president, William Fargo as secretary, and Alex Holland as treasurer. In very good to fine condition, with light irregular toning.
Henry Wells (1805-1878) was a co-founder, with William Fargo (1818-1881), of both the American Express Company and Wells Fargo & Company.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
