The name of the Total Wreck mine is rooted in the origins of the mine's original founders. It is believed that one founder, J.T. Dillon, remarked "well the mineral foundation is a total wreck" and the name stuck. This rare piece of history is stock number 111, issued to Walter L. Vail in 1881 for 500 shares. It is signed by John McMillan, secretary, and J.M. Requa, president. Silver foil seal. Printer Biglow of New York. The mine and its operations spawned the town around it, which had a post office and 4 saloons. The mine's founders were Walter Vail(stock owner), and J.T. Dillon, and was noted for its rich silver production in its heyday. Black borders and a central vignette of exploring miners. The claim was located on Walter Vail's Empire Ranch and the silver mine made the wealthy Vail family ever more wealthy. By 1890, Total Wreck was on it's way to becoming a ghost town. Very rare and desirable Arizona mining stock. EF. Uncancelled.
