moosemason,

Were you able to determine the value of these shares, or would you
like further assistance on this question?

Just let me know!

Interesting question, but unfortunately may not be something you can
get answered through Google. There are various fee-based services
available that research old stocks and bonds. The SEC has a list of
some of these services at this website:

Hi moosemason,

Even if the stocks have no value as shares in a company, there is
quite a market for stock certificates as collectibles. I have seen
prices ranging from $10-$20 on the low end to $300 and up on the high
end.
The website for Scripophily.com has listings of prices for various old
stock certs and for a fee will research your stock. They also buy old
stock certificates.

In the "learn something new every day" department, scripophily is the
name for the hobby of collecting old stock and bond certificates.

I didn't find your stock listed on their website but you may find some
helpful information on old stocks in general at their site:

Hope this helps,

I used to work for A.G. Edwards, and I was told that they would
provide exactly this sort of service. Whether they will do so only for
employees and customers, I do not know, but it certainly couldn't hurt
you to call and ask nicely. Their number is (314) 955-3000 (St.Louis,
MO); ask for the department that handles stock certificates.

Good Luck!
