Great group includes Kern Midway Oil Co, 1910; Kern West Side Oil Co, 1910; Whittier & Kern River Oil Co, 1900 (dated on back); Elk Horn Oil Company, 1908, a stock and a bond; California Kern Oil Company, 1904; and a beautiful Almota Oil Mining Company stock issued in 1901. Another certificate, the Kern Oil Land Development Company was issued at Kern City in 1900.

The Kern River district continues to be a large producer and was the 16th largest producing oil field in the United States in 2013. The Kern River oil field was discovered in 1899, and by 1901 was the largest developed oil-field in California. These certificates are all very rare and this describer has never seen any of these previously. Average condition overall. View photos.
