1909. Issued and uncancelled stock certificate. 10 Shares. Black border with gold undertint.Allegorical boy on winged wheel. Certificate is in XF condition. The Aerial Navigation Co. of America (1908-1912) was founded by Henry Laurens Call, socialist lawyer and economist. Located in Girard, Kansas, the Aerial Navigation Company designed the Call airship -- the first Kansas-designed and built aircraft to make an attempt to take off. The airship was not successful, but the company established a factory, a flying school, and built an additional 13 aircraft before going bankrupt in 1912. Only one of the aircraft, the Call Monoplane, actually flew. The Company's biggest success was with the CallAviation Engine which they manufactured and marketed. Extremely rare and historic aviation certificate. Autograph signature of this aviation pioneer as president of the company.
