New Jersey, 1953. 1000 Shares I/U Capital Stock Certificate #93, Black text with orange border, Eagle with U.S. Capitol Building in background at top center. Faded stamp at bottom left corner, Fine-VF condition. Signed by John L. Jordan, who served as company President. From 1936 to 1938 Jordan worked for the renowned architectural firm McKim, Mead and Kim in New York City. In 1938 he resigned from the firm due to his wife's illness. From 1938 to his death in 1955, Jordan was President of the American Dirigible Company of New York. Jordan claimed that dirigibles could out perform previous Zeppelin-type airships and compete with airplanes and naval vessels. He attempted to attract the attention of the Army and Navy but was never successful.
