Although there are a number of unissued certificates from the Giant Powder Company floating around, it is rare to find an issued certificate. The Giant Powder Company was the first company in America to produce dynamite. The Giant Powder Company moved to Point Pinole around San Francisco in 1892 after merging with the Safety Nitro Powder Co. and set up the company town of Giant, along with its plant to produce explosives used throughout the world in major earth moving efforts. This is certificate #10427, issued for 1 share to Weston B. Frome in 1932 and signed by the company officers. The company incorporated in California in 1892. After 1916, the interests of the Giant Powder Company were controlled by the Atlas Powder Company as they had purchased controlling interest. The certificate has hole cancels through the officer's signatures and the stub attached at the left.
