This rare American Express Company stock certificate was issued to and signed by founder John Butterfield and his partner Henry Wells (aka Wells Fargo) as well as James C. Fargo who was President of American Express for 30 years and the brother of founder William G. Fargo.

American Express was founded by Henry Wells, William G. Fargo and J.W. Butterfield in 1850 in Buffalo, NY. Just two years later, Wells and Fargo would also start Wells Fargo & Co. Together they founded two of the most iconic companies in American History. American Express Stock Certificates signed by John Butterfield are very hard to come by, let alone ones issued to him. Butterfield was also the founder of the Utica and Waterville Railroad, the Butterfield Overland Mail Company and became the mayor of Utica, NY.

This amazing American Express Stock Certificate was issued to John Butterfield of Utica and was signed by him on the back. Henry Wells signed as President and James C. Fargo signed as Secretary. It was also signed by Alexander Holland as Treasurer who was the son-in-law of founder John Butterfield.
