About this shop
Buys, sells and researches collectible stock and bond certificates, autographs, manuscripts and other old paper, working by mail order and over the internet rather than from a retail counter. Inventory runs to more than 17,500 selections, offered framed or unframed and with a make-offer feature. Old company and old stock research is handled through the affiliated RM Smythe Old Company Research service, and the company supplies high-resolution certificate scans for publications. It also sells inexpensive authentic certificates in bulk for classroom use and in quantity to businesses for marketing purposes.
- The company began selling online in 1996 and marked 20 years on the internet in April 2016.
- It was founded by Robert A. Kerstein, who also prepared a free Reference Guide to Stock Certificates published on the site.
- The RM Smythe name comes from the acquisition of the correspondence, archives and copyrights of the R.M. Smythe Stock Research Service, along with the Marvyn Scudders and Robert D. Fisher manuals.
- It describes itself as a founding member of the Old Stock Exchange.
