Colorado Non-Mining Stock & Bond Certificate Catalogue

A listing of general Colorado stocks and bonds


 

 

 

 

 

Colorado was more than just a state dotted with mines.  Alongside those mines sprung towns and mining camps.  Often times those individuals that got rich off the latest strike were not the miners, but the merchants, store owners, banks, and manufacturers of the goods used every day by the miners in their trade or just daily living.  Individuals and companies were quick to take advantage of the opportunity to profit from the needs of the miners and their families.   From the  mining camps grew larger population centers with a myriad of businesses that required capital to succeed.   It seemed as though anyone could float the issuance of stock on the market and investors would be there willing to invest!   This created a wealth of unique and unusual company's who's stock certificates have survived and provide the collector an opportunity to posses a piece of Colorado business history!

 

We are pleased to present the following selection of certificates representing a variety of Colorado industries and businesses.
