Description

Elaborate Railroad bond signed by J. P. Morgan

One of the most successful and influential financiers in American history (1837–1913) and founder of U.S. Steel Corporation, the world’s first billion-dollar company. DS, one page both sides, 13 x 9.5, June 30, 1886. An attractive, beautifully engraved mortgage bond for the New Jersey Junction Railroad Company in the amount of $1,000, signed on the reverse by Morgan as trustee, and also signed by Josiah H. Reed. The five pages of coupons are attached to the front of the document, with just the first coupon (from January of 1887) missing. In fine, crisp condition. A beautifully preserved and eye-catching document which notes the “principal due 1986.” Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
