This Continental Air Lines Specimen Stock Certificate was printed in the 1980s and features Robert Six as President. Continental was founded in 1934 as Varney Speed Lines by Walter T. Varney who also founded United Airlines. Varney Speed Lines changed it's name to Continental Airlines in 1937. The company became one of the largest airlines in the United States and merged with UAL Corp (United Airlines) in 2010.

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.
