New Jersey, 1909. $500 Specimen 6% Sinking Fund Gold Coupon Bond, Black text with blue border and underprint, Eagle at top center. Red specimen overprints and POCs. VF condition, HBN. American Type Founders (ATF) Co. was a business trust created in 1892 by the merger of 23 type foundries, representing about 85 percent of all type manufactured in the United States at the time. The new company, consisting of a consolidation of firms from throughout the United States, was incorporated in New Jersey. The American Type Founders Co. was the dominant American manufacturer of metal type from its creation in 1892 until at least the 1940s; it continued to be influential into the 1960s. Many fonts developed by the ATF Co. in its period of dominance, including News Gothic, Century Schoolbook, Franklin Gothic, Hobo and Bank Gothic, remain in everyday use. Extremely rare specimen bond with only 2 or 3 examples found in the ABN archives.
