Extended Information

This Corning Glass Work Specimen Bond Certificate was printed in 1973. Corning Glass Works was founded in 1851 in Massachusetts as the Bay State Glass Co. They later moved to Corning, New York in 1868 and subsequently changed their name to Corning Glass Works. Corning provides specialty glass, ceramics, and related technologies throughout the world. Corning's most successful technology is the display screen used for the iPhone.

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.
