SA Saint-Cloud Country-Club
Certificate 2 registered shares 5,000F N°609-610 (certificate N°397), SA Saint-Cloud Country-Club, M. Mancourrier Edouard, Parc de Buzenval Garches (Seine-et-Oise), 1 Jan. 1921. Rare.
The Saint-Cloud Country-Club is one of the oldest and most prestigious outdoor sports clubs in the Paris region, founded within the grounds of the Parc de Buzenval in Garches (Seine-et-Oise). The club hosted golf, tennis and equestrian activities, pursuits reserved for the high bourgeoisie and aristocracy of the Paris region. This certificate of 2 registered shares of 5,000 francs, bearing the numbers 609 and 610, was issued in the name of M. Mancourrier Edouard, residing at 14 Rue Richter in Paris, on 1 January 1921. The "Titres Français 10% pour 100% Abonnement" stamp corresponds to a flat-rate tax device on investment income in force in 1920s France. The high face value of 5,000 francs per share underscores the exclusive and elitist character of the club. Documents relating to private Belle Époque and Roaring Twenties sports and leisure clubs are rare on the scripophily market and highly sought after by collectors of French social and sporting history.
