This is a rare and true collectable from the Past. This is a Pre-Klondike Gold Rush, this is a few years before the Klondike Gold Rush.Those Families that Blazed the Oregon Trail might have passed by this area. ;This is one of finest pieces and condition. This was a good investment after the Klondike Gold rush, or was it? They sold a lot of stock to lets-say, armchair prospecters.;The color is actually cream color paper.; This is pre-everything. The photos below are the actual mine, what is left above ground, the state of Utah actually have that landmark roped off.; This certificate is an actual original from the inception, not an item bougtht in a gift shop.; Each certificate is hand signed and has it's own individuallities.
