Jay Gould (1836-1892), Financier, Railroad executive. Involved in numerous railroads, he gained control of the Erie Railroad. In the fall of 1869 Gould, along with James Fisk, Peter Sweeney, and William Tweed, looted the Erie by stock-watering measures, carried out a raid on the credit, produce and export markets, and tried to corner the gold market. This brought on the Black Friday panic. This 1888 stock is transferred to Gould and not signed by him. Rare! Item ordered may not be exact piece shown. All original and authentic.
