This share features a wide decorative border in the graphic style of the 1920s, characteristic of stock market documents of the era, printed in sepia and brick red tones on slightly ivory-coloured paper. The header mentions \"Société Générale\" and specifies the monopolistic union of the 40 Salernes tile factories in the Var department (France).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper part of the document displays the company name, the amount of the share capital (\"two million five hundred thousand francs\"), the value of the share (\"one hundred francs\"), and the individual number (\"18450\").

Each coupon bears the mentions \"Tomettes et Céramiques de Salernes (Var)\", the share number, as well as a central red stamp.
