Description

This rare Johnson & Johnson Specimen Stock Certificate was printed in 1989. Founded in 1886 by the Johnson brothers who then made sterile surgical supplies and household products. Today they are one of the largest manufacturers of medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and consumers goods in the world. Some of their most famous brands are Band-Aid, Tylenol, Neutrogena and Johnson's Baby products.

In 2021 J&J split into two companies dividing their medical tech business from their consumer products division.

Added to the Dow Jones in 1997.

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.
