Ohio, ND (1930s). Odd Shares Progress Proof Capital Stock Certificate, Black text, Company logo at top flanked by allegorical figures. Cancelled stamps throughout, some notes made in black ink. VF condition. The Timken Company is an American manufacturer of bearings and related components and assemblies. For many decades it was also a steelmaker concentrating mainly on alloy steel tube, but the steel business line was spun off to Timken Steel in 2014. In 1917, the company began its steel- and tube-making operations in Canton to vertically integrate and maintain better control over the steel used in its bearings. During World War II, Timken production increased dramatically to keep up with wartime demand. For instance, every U.S. jeep was built using 24 Timken¨ bearings. With 660,000 jeeps delivered to the U.S. military, Timken delivered more than 15.8 million bearings for those vehicles over the course of the war.
