Rare, vintage collectible piece of the global hospitality industry. 

This is absolutely authentic, NOT a reproduction.  As many of you already know, paper stock and bond certificates have for the most part gone away in favor of electronic 'book-entry' ownership of securities.  Physical certificates have become very collectible, and an important part of Wall Street history.

He sported an apron (later a suit and tie) and held a top hat in one hand; in the other hand was a red trumpeted banner that read "Ramada Inn Roadside Hotels". From 1976 to 1982, the chain's logo was a simple rounded rectangle that read "Ramada Inn" in the original design's gothic Western-style lettering. of the original design. From 1982 to 2004, Ramada changed to a revised, rounded rectangular design with more "modern" lettering.
