Extended Information

Proctor & Gamble organized the Buckeye Cotton Oil Company in 1901 to provide cotton seed oil for Proctor and Gambles soap products. After the first World War, Buckeye began cellulose production as the demand for gun cotton grew. In 1921, P&G renamed the company the Buckeye Cellulose Corporation. Proctor & Gamble later sold their cotton oil mills and the subsidiary became Buckeye Technologies in 1992. In 2013 Buckeye Technologies was purchased by Georgia-Pacific.

Specimen stock certificates are certificates that were archived by printers and the company as perfect examples of the company’s stock issue. Specimen’s can be identified by their “specimen” stamp, stamped holes spelling “specimen”, or they are often issued with a serial number of a series of zeros. Often, they are also issued with no serial number at all. Specimens can also represent a design that was never issued. All of these attributes make the specimen stock certificate rarer than the issued version of the share. Many enthusiasts collect specimens as a whole new category of Scripophily.
