Harsco Corporation
Common Stock, 100 shares No. NC38723, Harsco Corporation, Delaware, 1 October 1964. American industrial-conglomerate scripophily, environmental services and metallurgy
Harsco Corporation, founded in 1853 under the name Harrisburg Car Manufacturing Company, is one of the rare American industrial companies to have survived more than a century and a half of economic transformations. This certificate for 100 shares, issued in 1964, dates from a period when Harsco operated mainly in services to steel mills, slag recovery, and maintenance of steelmaking facilities — an activity that would go on to become a precursor model for industrial environmental services. Still listed on the stock exchange today and specializing in environmental technologies for metallurgy, Harsco offers the unique interest of a scripophily company that remains active. This document illustrates the remarkable continuity of an American industrial company through the economic transformations of the 20th century
