Description

A stock certificate from the Ranger-Caldwell Oil and Gas Company of Las Vegas, Nevada for John H. Temple, Jr., 12 December 1919. The certificate was for $100 shares at $1 value each with the purchase likely made because the teenager's brother, F.P.F. Temple II, then resided in that city. The company had wells in Texas and drilled through at least 1921, though it is not known how much success the firm had. With two vertifcal folds, creases and light soiling, the condition is good.
