More DescriptionSince the beginning of time, even sitting around the campfire telling stories, entertainment has been the most amusing activity ever to hold the attention of mankind. After all, besides work, relaxation, and sleep, what else is there besides entertainment?A unique way of tracking the history of entertainment, at least from the 1800's, is through the review of antique stock certificates. I have been collecting antique stocks and bonds for many years, specializing in entertainment related stock certificates. This hobby of collecting antique stock certificates, also called scripophily, is a fascinating way of finding information about companies, the businesses they were in, and who ran them.When you come across a certificate that is signed by Harry Houdini or Walt Disney, it can spark your interest. Maybe you even discover a certificate that was issued by a celebrity.
