$1000 bond certificate from the Virginia and Truckee Railroad Company, dated 1874. No. 1485 issued. Signed by company president William Sharon and secretary George A. King with cancellation holes through both signatures. Nice railroad vignette and embossed company seal. 60 bond coupons, each worth $25, are attached to the certificate; the entire piece is mounted on tightly cut cardstock. Great quality, especially considering the piece's age -- no foxing and very little wear.
