Notable Bond Imagery

In the upper left corner, the greek deity Libertas wears a crown and holds a scale in her right hand. She leans against a portrait of an eagle perched on laurel leaves atop a stone with the inscription “U.S.A”. In the background there is a shield with the United States stars-and-stripes pattern. Above the name of the company the wings of two eagles encompass a face. At the bottom three miners work in a mine, one with a pickaxe, one with a shovel, and one with a pipe. The seal of company is located at the bottom left corner, and a stamp states when this certificate was transferred.
