Hello all- I have located a rarer-than-hens-teeth Meteor Crater Exploration and Mining Company stock certificate that will be held in a live auction in Reno on December 13. It is one of the blue preferred stock certificates signed by Brandon Barringer, Daniel's son. I have one myself already and just thought I would pass on the info, won't be bidding. It is lot number 149 and I am pretty sure you could set up an absentee bid or a telephone bid (really) with the owner of the company Fred Holabird at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 775-852-8822. It is in "very fine" condition but does have two holes punched in it as if it was once in a portfolio. I know when I was hunting them down, it took years to come across them and I haven't seen a single one since April 2001. I know one individual sells them in his catalog for over $700 and I think you could do better. The auction catalog shows a $400-600 est. value. Keep in mind a 15% buyers premium is added.
A link to the history of the crater, including this failed mining attempt http://www.barringercrater.com/lite/impact/impact.htm Rocks From Space has a nice excerpt as well. They really cap off one's Canyon Diablo presentation. Good luck Rob Wesel ------------------ We are the music makers... and we are the dreamers of the dreams.
