This Certificate was purchased in the 1970s, registered with Chase Manhattan Bank and countersigned by Manufacturers Hanover Trust!    Talk about a Keepsake that is well worth framing and putting in that special place on your wall!   And that's not all! The Certificate itself is a beauty!  A bold, deep-violet color and featuring an extremely attractive Vignette of a Young Woman seated primly before the Skyline of a Metropolis!   This Stock is in Excellent Condition and THE EXACT SAME ONE you see.  You can pay a lot of money for this Certificate - and it's certain to increase in Collector's Value - but it's yours right now at the LOW, BUY-IT-NOW PRICE of $19.99 ! The same certificate - without the Bear Stearns name on it - can sell for more than that elsewhere on line outside of eBay and for twice that at a specialty store in Manhattan. [The Certificate you receive is EXACTLY THE ONE YOU SEE.  It bears the LUCKY NUMBER Y77 and was issued March 20, 1970.  It measures 8 inches by 12 inches.] I HAVE DOZENS OF OTHER ITEMS ON SALE NOW !!!
