Action Émailleries Réunies 100 Francs old vintage financial document

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This document is a bearer share certificate issued by the company Émailleries Réunies, with a nominal value of 100 Francs. It is an authentic financial security, characteristic of issues from the early 20th century. The document is printed on finely textured patterned paper, with a decorative border typical of old French stock certificates.

The visible side features the heading "ÉMAILLERIES RÉUNIES", accompanied by the mention "Société Anonyme au capital de 10.000.000 de Francs" (Public Limited Company with a capital of 10,000,000 Francs). There is also a large central red stamp bearing the inscription "ÉMAILLERIES RÉUNIES SIÈGE SOCIAL À PARIS" (ÉMAILLERIES RÉUNIES HEAD OFFICE IN PARIS), as well as two printed handwritten signatures at the bottom left and right of the main title.

At the bottom, a series of numbered coupons from 1 to 25 is attached, each identified by the share number "05036" and stamped with the company's seal. The coupons are arranged in regular rows, and each coupon bears the inscription "ÉMAILLERIES RÉUNIES Action No 05036" followed by the coupon number in full letters (e.g., "PREMIER COUPON" - FIRST COUPON).

The document has a main beige to light brown hue with geometric patterns and the stylized "ER" logo, visible multiple times. The graphic style, typography, and structure of the certificate are representative of the 1920s-1930s, a prosperous period for bearer share issues in France.

The paper shows slight undulation, visible in the photo, but the surface of the document appears clean, with no major stains, tears, or apparent creases on the displayed side. The inscriptions are perfectly legible, making it a sought-after example of an old financial document for economic history or retro wall decoration.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The overall condition is good for a document of this era, with a clear and legible visible side.

Did you know? Bearer shares were commonly used in France before their gradual abolition at the end of the 20th century. They allowed any holder of the document to claim the rights attached to the share, without nominal identification, which facilitated their transfer but raised transparency issues for issuing companies.
