A STOCK CERTIFICATE ISSUED TO MARSHALL FIELD. KING, RICHARD. Document Signed ('Richard King'), issuing stock in the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad to Marshall Field, partially printed and accomplished in manuscript, 1 p, folio, Illinois, 1881, number of shares not indicated but document canceled with perforations at lower mount.

During Field's lifetime, his wholesale business was far more successful than the retail one. This stock certificate for a midwestern railroad company is likely an investment in the wholesale side of the business. Lot to be sold without reserve.
