AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old share from Société Minière du Djebel Felten, dated July 1, 1952, visible here on a full open page. This historic financial document features a neat print on paper, with a wide blue-green ornamental frieze surrounding the central text. The company name and main details are printed in bold, clearly legible characters. The left part of the page displays the main share, while the right part contains a series of numbered coupons, each bearing the mention "Société Minière du Djebel Felten" and the share number 014979. Several red stamps authenticate the coupons and the central part of the document.

The document is adorned with a floral frame typical of French shares from the mid-20th century, with a dominant blue-green hue and refined geometric patterns. The central text specifies that it is a two thousand five hundred franc bearer share, issued by a limited company with a capital of 10,000,000 francs, with its registered office in Paris, rue Vivienne. The visible printed signatures and ink stamps add to the authenticity and decorative value of this bearer certificate.

The detachable coupons, numbered 11 to 27, are intact and attached to the main share, which is an asset for collectors of antique financial documents. The paper has a smooth appearance, without apparent embossing, and the colors remain vibrant. No major defects are visible on the exposed side: no stains, marked creases, or missing parts on the central area or the visible coupons.

The typography, the arrangement of legal mentions, and the decorative motifs fully evoke the administrative and graphic style of 1950s France. This type of document, often referred to as a "bearer certificate" or "antique share," is now sought after for its historical value and retro aesthetic.

The document bears the mention "Paris, July 1, 1952," which allows for precise dating of this issue. The red "SMDF" stamps and handwritten signatures reinforce the authenticity of this certificate. The whole is presented open, revealing both the main page and the sheet of coupons, making it an ideal piece for framing or vintage or industrial-themed wall decoration.
