Featured A book of stock certificates -

I believe the Marsch & Bachman Co. was a department store in NY in the early 1800s, but that's all the info I was able to dig up. Most certficates in this book are cancelled and nearly all the stamps have came loose from the pages. Frustrating , please, someone tell me if this is worth looking into, pretty please!

 

Can you find out if it was absorbed into another company? They could be interested.

 

what stamps?

 

I’m not finding squat.
Maybe it was a short lived failure.

 

Try the reference librarian at the NY PUBLIC LIBRARY.

 

Don't think you mean early 1800s. The Marsh & Bachman Co. wasn't even founded until 1892. More information here.

Jeez, I found zero! Good work!

So no other company sucked it up?
I’m pleased to see that that antique shop knows how to properly display our flag.

 

If you're feeling generous...

Wonder why they didn’t call it the North River Library.

 

Marsh & Bachman was not in NYC, but rather, "upstate" in Hudson, NY.

(I know the town of Hudson rather well... I used to visit its antiques stores regularly when I lived in NW CT, and both my kitty cat Stoli and DD's late kitty cat Michoux were adopted through Hudson's Animalkind, the greatest non-kill cat-rescue place you can imagine!)

Debora has beat me to it (I was going to provide the same link as her 1st one) - but here's one with a bit of info about the founder:

Yes, indeed, King! (And, by the way, can you say EXPENSIVE??? It is a VERY nice store!)

 

Ah well!
Then Hudson would be quite apropos.

 

551 Warren Street, Hudson ny. That's the last thing I remember reading before my browser decided to do updates [smh]. But THANK YOU for the info!
I have someone coming to look at the kabillions of books I've boxed. Maybe this will be of interest. Thanks!

 

There's a website that will tell you if old insurance policies or stocks have value, but I don't remember what it's called. I found a bunch of this stuff in my great-aunt's paperwork. Check around and see what they're selling for before you give them up.
