Pristine stock certificate from Golden, Nevada, now a ghost town, for The Golden Townsite, Light and Power Company, incorporated in Nevada, blank and unissued. The certificate bears the date 190_. No. 202, with blank gold seal, attached certificate, and very ornate black border and Greek-inspired vignette of man fighting a lion. Tiny pin hole top center. Golden, Nevada, in Nye County, was a small camp formed following the discovery of gold in 1906. However, the ore was not of consistently high grade, and when large deposits were discovered elsewhere, most of the 50 or so people left. A small number stayed behind and worked the claim until 1913 when the camp was abandoned. Nothing but a partially collapsed wooden cabin marks Golden today.Date: 1906-1913Country (if not USA): State: NevadaCity: GoldenProvenance: Ken Prag Collection
