Fully paid-up Bearer Share of One Hundred Francs of the Société des Charbonnages de Combre, a public limited company with a capital of 320,000 francs, increased to 500,000 francs. Articles of association filed with Maître Petit-Pierre, notary in Tarare (Rhône). Dated 1 March 1907, this share, no. 2633, bears witness to the modest but notable exploitation of the coal seams of Beaujolais and the middle Gier valley. The sober black-on-white design features an Art Nouveau border with stylized floral motifs, two oval vignettes, and bears two handwritten signatures of directors as well as a circular embossed seal. Particularly remarkable: the sheet of ten attached coupons is intact, with no coupon detached, which is rare and significantly increases the scripophile value. Printed by Eug. Mercier & Cie in Lyon. An ideal document for a French mining collection, Loire-region scripophily or the industrial history of the Lyon area. Piece in very good overall condition, with no major folds. A witness to the proliferation of small French mining companies during the Belle Époque.
