American Austin Car Co., Inc.
#N01039
1930, Delaware. Stock certificate for 10 shares. Orange/Black. Engraved vignette of Engraved vignette of allegorical male turning large wheel, Mercury and other figures. Produced in Butler, PA between 1930-34, the Austin was a tiny car, the first model being fully 16" narrower and 28" shorter than the next smallest regularly produced American automobile. While sales were made to such celebrities as Al Jolson, Buster Keaton and Ernest Hemingway, Americans were, in general, not ready for the economies of a small car, and the Austin was generally treated as a joke by cartoonists and comedians of the day. The company filed for bankruptcy in 1934 but, in 1937, the company reappeared as the American Bantam Car Company (1938-41). This company fared little better than the first, its only claim to fame being that it built the very first successful Jeep for the U.S. Army (1940). Uncancelled and extremely fine.

Star Motors, Inc.
#O43759
1923, Delaware. Stock certificate for 7 shares. Red/Gray/Black. Engraved vignette of a star at top center flanked by busy industrial scenes. Fresh from his being forced out of General Motors in 1920 for the second and final time, William Crapo Durant embarked on building another automotive empire. While the flagship marque in the new empire was named in his honor, Durant, the Star, produced in Elizabeth, NJ from 1922 to 1928, was critical to the success of the empire in that it was a low-priced car designed to compete head-to-head with Henry Ford's Model T. Such was Durant's name that the car was an immediate success, selling in excess of 100,000 units in its first year of production. For the first few years of its life, the Star enjoyed immense popularity. Unfortunately, its own health was tied to that of the Durant empire which, by 1928, was in serious trouble. Late that year, various models of the Star were dropped, and others were continued as Durants. Uncancelled and very fine. Catalog: # MH605 Date: 1923 Cancellation: I/NC Condition: VF+
