Certificate Description
1886 Missouri Kansas & Texas RR Stock Certificate, issued to and signed by Jay Gould on reverse side. Jay Gould (1836-1892) was one of several infamous 19th century robber-barons. Two incidents earned his place in history. In the first, Gould and his partners, James Fisk and Daniel Drew, contested Cornelius Vanderbilt for control of the Erie Railroad in 1867. Gould and his partners won. They proceeded to plunder the railroad and manipulated stock prices. From 1868-1870, the company sold million in fraudulent stock, leading to litigation that forced Gould out of the company in 1872 and forced him to pay restitution. The second event was Gould's attempt to corner the gold market in 1869. Gould and Fisk figured that the increase in price of gold would increase the price of western wheat, thereby increasing freight business for the Erie railroad. Jay Gould was president of the MKT RR as well as a significant owner.  Certificate is in VF+ condition with clear distinctive signature on reverse side.
