Texas, <100 Shares, Specimen Stock Certificate. Green border. Bull on UL next to ornate curved title. Specimen overprints and POC's. Red text in middle changing par value of stocks. XF condition. ABNC. Texas Pacific Land Trust was created in 1888 due to the bankruptcy of the Texas & Pacific Railway Company. The railroad had sold bonds and pledged the land it earned under the Land Grant system to get money to build the railroad, and therefore the bondholders had a security interest in the land. The bankruptcy trustee gave the land to the bondholders, who converted the bonds to stock and placed the shares on the New York Stock Exchange. There was a reorganization of the New York Stock Exchange in 1888 and Texas Pacific Land Trust was placed as the number three company that year. Scarce railroad related stock.
