    1901, New York. Stock certificate for 100 shares of Common Stock issued to and signed on verso by HARRIMAN, EDWARD H. (1848 - 1909). Railroad executive, Financier. One of the great railway builders of all time, Harriman was known for his genius in developing and reinvesting in railroads. His stock market battle for control of the Northern Pacific against the combination of J. Pierpont Morgan and James J. Hill (which ended in a standstill) remains as one of Wall Street's great wars. A true financial wizard, Harriman was known as the "Napoleon of Wall Street" and upon his death, "controlled more millions of capital than any financial giant of the country." Brown/Black. Full standing Liberty figure vignette at top left. Litho. Punch cancellation not affecting signature. Excellent.
