Wow! Very early wine stock certificate! No. 363, issued for one share to Joseph Warner on May 23rd, 1811, in Philadelphia for "promoting the Cultivation of Wines in Pennsylvania." Signed by president Hugh Ferguson and the treasurer (illegible). Not cancelled. Notations on reverse. 6.75 x 7.5 inches. Age discoloration.

His vineyard was on 206 acres on land located 13 miles north of Philadelphia at Spring Mill.
