Five shares of stock in Glenmore Productions issued and signed by President Billy Rose, c1947-50. Comes from the Billy Rose Estate, with certificate of authenticity. Billy Rose was personal secretary to Bernard Baruch of the War Industries Board during World War I, and went on to become a lyricist and Broadway Promoter into the 1960s.
