Description
No 31 for 600 shares to J. F. Ryan signed by Geo W Grove as treasurer, and Adams as president. Dated Oct 18, 1866. Amber, a gem stone, is the Polish "gold," where it is exceptionally highly valued. Anyone who has been to Gdansk knows what I am talking about. Here is a certificate with two forms of gold! Meanwhile... the Amber GMC appears to have been a fraud company. While the company was incorporated in 1866, gold in quartz was reportedly found in the shaft in 1867, but nobody believed them, and work went dormant. The cert states Greene County. a county in the far south western corner of Pennsylvania. One news article relates the company to California, Washington County (of which Greene originally was part of), named in honor of the Gold Rush. Evidently some local folks thought they saw gold in a prospect and formed a company. California PA later went on to become a major coal producing town. Greene County Pennsylvania
