South Carolina. 10 Shares Capitol Stock Certificate. I/U, Black print with an ornate black border. Vignette at center of certificate of a bundle of wheat with a rake, scythe, and prongs next to it. XF condition. Walker, Evans & Cogswell, printers. During the Civil War, Evans & Cogswell printed small denomination Confederate currency, Government bonds, the Soldier's Prayer Book, books on war tactics, stamps, and medical books. Their company had been established in Charleston, but was moved to Columbia (SC) in 1864 for protection from invading Union forces under General William T. Sherman. Subsequently, Columbia, and the Evans & Cogswell printing plant there, were extensively damaged by fire in February 1865 during the course of General Sherman's march northward through South Carolina. Because of this devastating loss, the company went into bankruptcy, but was reorganized in 1866 with the addition of C. Irvin Walker, a distinguished Confederate veteran, and the company was renamed Walker, Evans & Cogswell. Historic early reconstruction period stock certificate printed by Confederate Currency printer. Rare
