Cleveland and Sandusky Brewing Co. - Brewery Stock Certificate
Inv# BR1001 Stock
Stock neatly hole and stamp cancelled. Very nice graphics by International Bank Note-NY. Excellent Condition. Scarce.
The Cleveland and Sandusky Brewing Co. opened in 1933 and closed in 1935 it was open for 2 years. Breweries that are only open for a couple of years like this did not have a long time to produce advertising and collectibles so they tend to be more scarce than breweries with more longevity. This listing was active during Prohibition which makes it an oddity. Some breweries were able to stay in business by producing "near-beer" which was very low alcohol, some switched over to bottling sodas or other beverages, some became Ice-houses or other related businesses. The Cleveland and Sandusky Brewing Co. was in an active brewing city. Sandusky, OH was listed as having 6 breweries, which is quite a few. (From oldbreweries.com)
A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
