FREE SHIPPING - AS USUAL
Bullard Car Door Equipment Company, Incorporated under the laws of the Territory of Arizona, Phoenix Arizona
A single stock certificate for one share, par value .00, made out to Mrs. J B Hoffman (of Birmingham Alabama - this came from her family's Birmingham estate). Share # 2483, dated 3 January 1910 and signed by B. M. Bullard, Secretary; and by R. G. Bullard, President.
No endorsement or cancellation on the verso. Has the company's embossed gold seal on the recto which shows the company's main office (at least at the beginning of its history) as being in Phoenix.
Has neat railroad engine vignette on the face of the certificate.
Measures 11 inches wide by 8 inches tall (when unfolded)
While the company may have been incorporated in the Territory of Arizona it seems - according to Google - to have been located in Birmingham Alabama. Google search shows the St Louis Lumberman trade newspaper from 1909 saying that the company was building its plant in Birmingham at a cost of ,000.00 and that noted Birmingham Alabama businessman Peyton Norville had been elected vice-president & board member of the company. Many other google search results (using the company's name in quotes) associate this company with Birmingham.
It appears that they made doors & door accessories for railroad cars or railway cars.
some very minor aging; 2 old vertical folds (not unusual with old stock certificates) and there are tiny, tiny paper indentations or chips at the bottom of the 2 folds, else VG+
WILL BE MAILED, FOLDED - AS FOUND, VIA PROTECTED FIRST CLASS MAIL Standard Rate (without tracking). Buyer has the option, when paying, to upgrade (for a small extra charge) to First Class Parcel rate WITH tracking #

(the fine print ... [sigh] ... but please read :-)
WE REGRET WE DON'T SHIP OUT OF USA; SORRY, BUT
NO EXCEPTIONS.
FREE SHIPPING via stiffer plastic postcard top-loader and/or a piece of card stock + plastic sleeve protected 1st class mail, STANDARD RATE.
Regardless of what ebay may say on their "Shipping Page" - while STANDARD MAIL is perfectly safe for smaller & less expensive items - it is NOT the same grade of service as a "First Class Mail Parcel." Buyer MAY opt in (at a small-ish extra charge) for upgraded 1st class mail package rate (with TRACKING #)  at checkout if they choose to do so.
I ship AT LEAST twice a week (and OCCASIONALLY 3 times per week) so turnover time or handling time is 3
business
days (Mon-Fri)
max
- often less than that.
PAYPAL IS THE MUCH PREFERRED METHOD OF PAYMENT.
Thanks!
Please pay within 4 days. Delayed? Then email me - I'll try to work with you when necessary but it helps a lot when I have contact with you. If your payment is delayed, ebay is liable to send a dun or two. PLEASE NOTE THAT THOSE ARE COMING AUTOMATICALLY FROM EBAY AND
NOT
FROM ME. I typically send out just one reminder.
PLACING A BID IS THE ETHICAL EQUIVALENT OF ACCEPTING THESE TERMS. PLEASE DON'T ASK TO ALTER THEM AFTERWARDS.
In return, as our feedback clearly shows, we'll get your item(s) to you, as described, in a safe, timely manner. Thanks!
