A stock certificate, Metcalf-Hinckley Oil Company, Los Angeles, 21 September 1921. The item has a vignette of an eagle; has the certificate number and number of shares; gives the holder's name and number of shares; and has the date and signatures of the company president and secretary. The firm did have some oil development in the Los Angeles region, but was a short-lived business.
