Description

Financier (1836–1892) known for his stock market manipulation of railroad securities; he also tried to corner the gold market, leading to the 'Black Friday' stock market crash of September 1869. Partly-printed DS, one page, 11.5 x 7.75, May 6, 1881. Stock certificate for 100 shares in the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company issued to Jay Gould, endorsed on the reverse in blue ink to transfer the shares. In fine condition.

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.
