The American Tobacco Company
Original stock certificate
Issued in the 1960s
The American Tobacco Company
was a tobacco company founded in 1890 by J. B. Duke through a merger between a number of U.S. tobacco manufacturers including
Allen and Ginter
and
Goodwin & Company
. The company was one of the original 12 members of the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 1896. The American Tobacco Company dominated the industry by acquiring the
Lucky Strike Company
and over 200 other rival firms. Antitrust action begun in 1907 broke the company into several major companies in 1911. The American Tobacco Company, which started acquiring a wide range of non-tobacco products during the 1970s and 1980s, renamed itself
American Brands
in 1986, and has since been renamed
Fortune Brands
. American Tobacco became a subsidiary of American Brands for the next ten years until the company shed its tobacco brands to competitors. -Information from Wikipedia

FAQs:
Are you your certificates authentic or copies?
Everything
I sell is original and authentic. I do not sell copies or reproductions.
Is the certificate pictured the exact one I will receive?
Usually, yes. Occasionally, I do list certificates of the same type without rescanning. In this case, the certificate you receive will be virtually identical (same color, size, vignette, etc.) to the one pictured. Again, if you ever receive anything from me you are not 100% pleased with, you can return it for a full refund.
What is the best way to store, protect, and display my certificate collection?
The best thing, by far, that I have come across for storing certificates are
profolios and sleeves made by Itoya
. You can purchase them in my eBay store. I have several sizes available.
Do the certificates you sell have financial value?
No, these certificates are sold as collectibles only; although they are authentic, they no longer hold financial value.
