It is a bearer share certificate, dated from the 1920s, intended to represent a founder's share in the company. The whole consists of a large sheet adorned with a decorative red frieze, typical of administrative and financial documents from the interwar period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main face shows the company's name in red capital letters, accompanied by a printed stamp and authentic handwritten signatures. The mention \"Titre de cinq Parts de fondateur\" (Certificate of five Founder Shares) is clearly visible in the center of the document, as is the share capital of 1,200,000 francs. The issue number and the original signatures of the administrators are clearly legible, reinforcing the official and historical character of this share.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the right side of the sheet, there is a series of numbered detachable coupons, also printed in red, which at the time allowed for the collection of dividends or interest associated with the certificate. These coupons are intact and aligned in a regular grid, which testifies to a complete and unfragmented document. The whole is printed on paper, with a texture and a slightly ivory hue, typical of this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe graphic style of the border, composed of geometric and floral motifs, is characteristic of the 1920s. The document presents a neat layout, with legal mentions, the company name, the capital amount, the registered office, as well as various regulatory indications specific to bearer shares of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dominant colors are bright red for the printing and frames, on an off-white background. No major defects are visible on the exposed face: the document appears flat, without marked folds or apparent tears, although slight traces of handling are possible given its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.

They allowed their holder to exercise financial rights anonymously, without the name appearing in the registers. \"Soie Artificielle Valette\" produced artificial silk, a major industrial innovation of the interwar period, meeting the strong demand for synthetic textiles before the arrival of nylon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional and careful shipping, packaging adapted to preserve the integrity of the document.
