Vanderbilt Newspapers, Inc. signed by Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr- 1924.
Estate sale find as found from a prominent Chattanooga Tennessee resident.
Good condition shows normal wear and tear has creases and small tears increases. Please look at all pictures carefully as it is part of the description.
• Historical Background: Cornelius Vanderbilt IV launched these short-lived newspaper tabloids in the early 1920s against his wealthy parents' wishes. The venture collapsed after less than three years, leaving behind a massive $6 million loss—meaning these uncancelled signed certificates are a rare window into a specific family scandal and media failure.
• Condition Note: The signature itself is incredibly crisp and unblemished. While the document has the expected horizontal folding creases from storage, it has minor crease tearing per pictures.
