Hello, and here's hoping that you're a millionaire (but don't start a
spending spree just yet).
I've done a bit of poking around on this, and find that there are two
similarly named companies:
1. Old Dominion Oil and Gasoline Co., incorporated in Delaware, and,
2. Old Dominion Oil, incorporated in Texas.
As far as I can tell, you own the first of these companies, while it
is the second (Texas) company that was picked up by the Aspen Group
(which is probably fortunate for you, since Aspen seems to be tanking
fast, and is suing its former CEO for embezzelment).
The best I can offer you is this. There are numerous companies that
will conduct a stock certificate search for you for a fee (usually
around $40-50) in order to determine the current value of the
certificates. I have located one such company that has Old Dominion
Oil and Gasoline Co. in its data set, and will provide a report for
you to help establish the value (if any) of old certificates.
If you would like information about this service as an answer to your
question, let me know. If not, perhaps you can suggest an alternative
way to proceed on this.
Thanks....and best of luck!

Ulp! I'm sorry.
I meant to post my remarks as a "clarification" but instead,
accidentally posted it as an answer. I can have the editors remove
the answer as soon as possible, but it may not happen until they are
back at their desks on Monday. I know this is an inconvenience and
again, my apologies.
In the mean time, though, you can still add information here to let me
-- or another researcher -- know how you would like to proceed.

I know that these are the Delaware Corporation, as I stated in my
email. The Certificates are registered to my ascendant, Dr. H.R.
Drury. One Certificate is for 200 shares # 1212 issued November 26,
1919. The second one is for 50 shares issued July 1921 # 2182. At
the time there were 1,250,000 shares outstanding. My question was not
about their origin, but their worth. It is "Old Dominion Oil and
Gasolin Company", a Delaware Corporation.

total price for this, are you saying it will cost me $80.00 plus an
additional $40.00 to get an answer?

Man, oh man, oh man...
I'm sorry I made such a mess of the process here with my premature
posting. But I've got things worked out now, and have a full -- but
unhappy -- answer for you.
I pulled up the record for the Old Dominion Oil and Gasoline Co. from
Stock Search International at:
https://www.stocksearchintl.net/
Don't worry...there is no additional charge to you for this.
According to Stock Search, Old Dominion Oil and Gasoline "voluntarily
relinquished" its charter in 1927, a polite way of saying they went
belly up. There were so little resources available for the creditors,
that shareholders (always last in line to see anything in a
bankruptcy) received nothing.
"Consequently," the Stock Search report concludes, "your shares are
valueless."
I wish I could have given you better news, but at least now you know
where you stand.
Let me know if you have any additional questions about all this.
