Extended Information

This Colorado, Texas & Mexico Railway Construction Company stock certificate (circa 1906) is un-issued and features a gorgeous vignette of Abraham Lincoln. Incorporated in Oklahoma.

Very little can be found about this stock certificate but we did find this which might explain why...

"Thomas Slaten, was born in Georgia in 1853 and later in life moved to Oklahoma to become a cowboy. He bought a saloon in Mangum, Oklahoma, and his opera house became the most successful opera house in the territory. Family lore has it that Thomas was quite a colorful character, if not a downright scoundrel! It’s thought that the Richard family property, the ZV Ranch was won in poker game. Later, and with several other men, Slaten formed a corporation envisioning a railroad to help the territory. But alas with the coming of statehood the railroad was never built and the history and fate of the corporation has been lost to time, save for the unsold stock certificates."
