Incorporated in 1887 as Commercial Federal Saving and Loan, it changed to a Federal Savings Bank and changed it's name in 1990. In 2005 it was acquired by Bank of the West which is now a subsidiary of BNP Paribas.

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.
