Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company is one of the most iconic brands in American history. Founded by Samuel Colt in 1836 in Hartford, Connecticut, the company manufactured the legendary Colt revolver that revolutionized individual armament and helped forge the legend of the American West. This CANCELLED certificate, numbered C10235 and held by the bank Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. (the spelling 'Landenburg' in the document is a variant), is a doubly rare document: it bears the official cancellation mark and is held by a renowned banking institution. Colt's cancelled securities are highly sought after by scripophily collectors and enthusiasts of American arms history. This document offers a tangible link to the history of the company that equipped the American army during the Civil War and whose weapons marked the conquest of the West.
