Description

This original document is an old share certificate issued by the company "Émailleries Réunies et Forges de Creil et la Sarre", whose head office was located in Paris. It is a registered share certificate for one hundred francs, dating from the 1920s, as indicated by both the graphic style and the typography of the document.

The visible front features an ornamental purple frame, with fine decorative engravings typical of early 20th-century financial documents. The center of the document is dominated by the mentions "Émailleries Réunies et Forges de Creil et la Sarre" and "Certificat Nominatif d'Actions de Cent Francs entièrement libérée" (Registered Certificate of Fully Paid One Hundred Franc Shares). The company's logo (ERFS) appears at the top and bottom of the document, in a red and white circular medallion.

The lower part of the certificate includes a "Bordereau des actions inscrites" (List of Registered Shares), with several columns for reporting share numbers, typical of financial securities from this period. The document is printed on cream paper with a complex background pattern, with clearly visible watermarks and security graphic elements.

Several fields are provided for entering the holder's name, the number of shares, as well as the signature, date, and certificate number (here, number 110 is visible). Areas are left blank, indicating that this certificate has not been filled out or assigned to a specific holder.

The overall style, colors, and layout evoke French stock market documents from the 1920s, characterized by an aesthetic that is both sober and sophisticated, with geometric border patterns and a meticulous presentation intended to inspire confidence.
