New York
Specimen Stock printed by Security-Columbian Banknote Company. In 1924, Alexander and Eugène Fabergé, sons of the renowned jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé, established a firm called Fabergé & Cie in Paris, producing similar jewelry to their father's iconic creations. The firm’s stamp was marked "FABERGÉ, PARIS." In 1951, Samuel Rubin acquired the rights to the Fabergé name for marketing perfume, and in 1964, Rubin sold his company, Fabergé Inc., to Rayette Inc., which rebranded as Rayette-Fabergé Inc.
Over time, the Fabergé brand was resold multiple times, expanding into clothing lines, hair products, and the iconic cologne Brut, which became a best-seller. The brand also ventured into film production. Eventually, Fabergé returned to producing jewelry. Alongside authentic Fabergé pieces, the market has been flooded with imitations and "Fabergé-style" products, often referred to as "Fauxbergé." Today, the Fabergé name is owned by Fabergé Limited, focusing exclusively on jewelry and gemstones.
Stock and Bond Specimens are made and usually retained by a printer as a record of the contract with a client, generally with manuscript contract notes such as the quantity printed. Specimens are sometimes produced for use by the printing company's sales team as examples of the firm’s products. These are usually marked "Specimen" and have no serial numbers.
