An Old Stock Certificate may still be valuable even if the stock no longer trades under the name printed on the certificate. The company may have merged with another company or simply changed its name. You can use these resources to find out if an old stock certificate has value. They may be found at public libraries, stock exchanges, or stockbrokers' offices. As of yet, none of these guides are available on the World Wide Web although our Old Company Research Service will do this for you for a nominal fee.

Financial Stock Guide Service. Published by Financial Information, Inc., 30 Montgomery Street, P.O. Box 473, Jersey City, NJ 07303. This comprehensive guide is a good starting point for all research on old stock certificates. Published since 1927, this listing contains a directory of actively traded stocks and obsolete securities. This service provides a brief profile of companies whose original identities have been lost. The guide is updated annually and through monthly supplements.

For information about each state's Corporation information website, go to Encyberpedia's State Home Pages by Clicking Here.

Another way to find out about the company is to can call or write the transfer agent that is listed on the front of each certificate. A transfer agent handles transfers of stock certificates and should be able to advise you on their value. If the transfer agent no longer exists or cannot help you, you might try to contact the company directly. The stock certificates should show the state where the company was incorporated. Contact the Secretary of State in that state, and ask for the Business Corporations Section. They should be able to give you a history of the company (when it began, merged, dissolved, went bankrupt, etc.). From there you can contact the existing company (if there is one) to find out the value of your stocks.

What is Scripophily?

If you have acquired old stock certificates, and the company is no longer traded on any exchange, we can help in determining whether the shares have any value.
