Description

A Collectible Certificate from World-Famous   DOW CHEMICAL   This is a $25,000.00 Registered Bond !   As Chemical Companies go, this one is about as big as they get!  It is second in the World only to BASF but since their histories are intertwined that makes the two of them the All Time Biggest. Both were started back in the 19th Century by German Chemists: BASF back in 1865 in the Rhineland began producing Indigo Dyes at a price that for the first time made Blue Jeans affordable work clothes.  Dow back in 1897 in Michigan producing Bleach and other chemicals against stiff European competition. Their paths crossed at about this time - BASF had gone big into producing Ammonia - when Dow was able to buy German chemicals, ship them to the US and then back to Europe and still undercut the Germans.  Pretty fancy footwork!!! More recently they've been in and out of mergers with Corning and Monsanto and even became Dow-Badische for a while, later selling those shares to BASF whose name in German also starts with "Badische..."  Sound a little incestuous?  Well that's my point! Both have also been caught up in a lot of trouble over the years due to the fact that the Chemical Industry is often part of War Production. And you couldn't get a much more War-Like Vignette than this one!   VULCAN - Blacksmith and Toolmaker to the Gods - is preparing to strike his massive Hammer against a Fiery Anvil.  At his side are two Allegorical Figures representing his Minions: On the right a Miner who will delve this metal out of the earth and on the left an Ancient Chemist with the flasks appropriate to his trade and who is necessary for his knowledge of forming nearly magical alloys. This Bond is in Very Fine Circulated Condition and is just like the one you see.  You can pay a lot of money for this Certificate, but it's yours right now at the LOW, BUY-IT-NOW PRICE of $7.49! WITH FREE SHIPPING !!! [The Certificate you receive will be virtually the same in all particulars.  It measures 8 inches by 12 inches.  Only the Owner will vary, as will the cancellations and minor writing somewhat.] I HAVE DOZENS OF OTHER ITEMS ON SALE NOW !!!
