An American Express Company stock certificate from 1861 signed by Henry Wells and William G. Fargo (two of the three founders of American Express and the founders of Wells Fargo & Company) is an expected highlight in a special two-day timed auction event titled “Spring into Americana” slated for May 13th & 14th by Holabird Western Americana Collections.
The auction, starting at 8 am Pacific time both days, will be hosted exclusively on iCollector.com (Holabird’s preferred auction platform). Offered will be more than 1,400 lots in a wide array of collecting categories, including mining, bottles, numismatics, stocks, philatelic, art and general Americana. The majority of items have never been offered, and every lot starts at just 10 dollars.
“The ‘Spring into Americana’ auction is a mix of old and new, with many lower priced and entry level lots and larger groups ideal for dealers,” said Fred Holabird, the owner of Holabird Western Americana Collections. “Featured are Ken Prag postcards and stocks; Gary Bracken medicine bottles and stamps; coins, medals and tokens; billhead and check collections; and much more.”
