About Tom's Vignettes

About Us
Scripophily: Antique Stocks and Bonds (Bought and Sold)

Scripophily, the collection of antique stocks and bonds, is a relatively new and exciting collectible area. Certificates are valued for their vignettes, which often depict bygone industries and times, and their historical significance. Many interesting certificates can still be acquired at modest cost.

Hello:

I'm Tom of Tom's Vignettes, a dealer in antique stocks and bonds and other financial paper. I have been in business since the fall of 1998.

Pricing:

While no one dealer can offer the lowest price on every item in inventory, I strive to offer interesting certificates at very reasonable prices. Compare with other online dealers and return to shop at Tom's Vignettes.


Buying:

I am interesting in purchasing old stock and bond certificates, especially railroads. If you have an item or collection that you would like to sell, email me, and I will provide a quote.

Shipping:

Orders for stock certificates typically ship for $2.50; orders for bond certificates for $3.00. Shipping charge to a European country generally is $5.00 per order. Shipping charge does not increase if you order more than one item. All packages are shipped with a heavy cardboard backing, carefully sealed, and plainly marked “Do Not Bend.” It is best to wait for email from me before sending payment or paying using PayPal.

Insurance:

Insurance is optional. Ruby Lane strongly encourages insurance on all items. However, this may not always make sense on scripophily shipments (which are not exactly breakable). My experience in mailing thousands of packages is that less than one out of 400 packages does not arrive in good condition. Still, Insurance is recommended on orders over $100.

Questions:

If you are looking for a specific certificate, or have questions about items I am selling or general questions about collecting stocks and bonds, email them to me, and I will do my best to answer.

Shows and Other News:

Upcoming Scripophily Show: The Winter Northern Virginia Stock and Bond Show will be held Jan 26 and 27, 2007 in the Crowne Plaza Hotel near the Dullas Airport in Herndon, VA. This is now the premier national scripophily event in the US. If you have not attended a scripophily show since the Strasburg PA shows ended, you should give this new show a visit. It's a great opportunity to meet collectors and dealers from all over the US and a few from Europe as well.

Thanks for visiting Tom's Vignettes.
