This vintage financial document, printed on paper, features an ornate frame finely printed in brown and sepia tones enhanced with geometric patterns typical of the 1920s. The full title \"Tuileries \u0026amp; Briqueteries de Bohain – Anciens Établissements Bossuat-Hornéz\" is perfectly legible at the top of the certificate, followed by the mention \"Société Anonyme au capital de 500,000 Francs\". The factories were located in Bohain, as indicated in capital letters in the center of the document.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper part displays the value of the share, namely \"Action de 250 Francs au porteur – Entièrement libérée\" (Bearer Share of 250 Francs – Fully Paid), with the issue number (No. 1003) clearly visible in the center. Handwritten signatures of directors appear at the bottom left and right, while a round stamp marked \"Cambrai, 2 December 1919\" and the mention \"Ministère des Finances - Enregistré\" (Ministry of Finance - Registered) attest to the document's authenticity and date. The overall print is sharp, with beautiful typography and a rigorous layout, characteristic of early 20th-century stock certificates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the lower part of the document are several rows of detachable coupons, numbered from 8 to 34.

The whole presents a regular arrangement, with each coupon framed by graphic patterns matching the main frame. This type of coupon was intended for collecting dividends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe paper used shows a slight vintage patina, with shades of beige and brown that enhance its vintage aesthetic. No superfluous decoration: the overall look is sober but elegant, highlighting the official and patrimonial vocation of this financial security. The edges of the certificate appear clean and without apparent tears on the visible side, the print remaining well contrasted despite the document's age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis certificate constitutes a true visual testament to French industrial and financial history from the early 20th century. Its graphics, legal mentions, and original coupons make it a choice item for any retro decoration or for the study of scripophily (collection of old securities).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed document, sold as is.
