New York, 1918. 40 Shares I/U Stock Certificate, Black print with brown border and underprint, Photograph of roller coaster at top above title, S/N 52, Pink print overprint with new financing info, Revenue stamps at left, Fine to VF condition with pinholes. Broun-Green Co. The Ocean Coaster Company was a New York amusement-ride venture formed in the late 1910s during the coastal amusement boom centered around Coney Island and nearby seaside resorts. Companies of this type were created to finance and operate large wooden “scenic railway” roller coasters, reflected in the vignette on the certificate. Ocean Coaster appears to have been a single-project company, active only a few years before disappearing from corporate listings in the early 1920s. Surviving stock certificates are collected for their roller-coaster imagery and association with the golden age of American seaside amusement parks.
