c. 1980s Framed Dekalb Genetics Corp. Specimen Stock Certificate - Class A

1988; Dekalb Genetics Corporation, Illinois

Framed specimen certificate for Class A common stock issued by Dekalb Genetics Corporation, the successor to Dekalb AgResearch and one of the most influential agricultural biotechnology firms of the 20th century. Printed in green with ornate scrollwork borders and the iconic winged ear of corn logo at the top, this certificate bears the word SPECIMEN across the share field and includes engraved signature facsimiles and an embossed corporate seal.
Specimen certificates were never issued to shareholders; instead, they were produced as reference proofs for engravers, banks, and internal recordkeeping-making them uncommon historical artifacts tied to corporate identity and securities printing.

Dekalb Genetics emerged from the original 1912 DeKalb County agricultural cooperative and became a global leader in hybrid seed, corn genetics, and biotech research before eventually being acquired by Monsanto in the early 2000s.

Minor age toning and faint handling wear present; professionally matted and framed for clean display.
