American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1971
Estimate : 3,500 - 4,500
The certificate featured is from the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (now AT &T)issued in 1971. This historic document was printed by American Banknote Company and has an orange ink ornate border around it with a vignette of Alexander Graham Bell. This item has the signatures of the Company's Chairman and Treasurer.
The formation of the Bell Telephone Company was an agreement between Alexander Graham Bell and his financiers, among them Gardiner Greene Hubbard and Thomas Sanders. It was initially renamed the National Bell Telephone Company in March 1879, but became the American Bell Telephone Company in March 1880. Later in 1880, the management of American Bell created what would become known as AT&T Long Lines. The project was the first of its kind to create a nationwide long-distance network with a framework that was commercially sustainable. This project was formally incorporated into a separate company christened American Telephone and Telegraph Company on March 3, 1885. Starting from New York the network reached Chicago, Illinois in 1892.
Bell's patent on the telephone expired in 1894, but the company's much larger customer base made its service much more valuable than alternatives and substantial growth continued.
The American Telephone & Telegraph Company (now AT&T Corporation) provided telecommunication and professional services to several businesses, consumers, and government agencies. AT&T is one of the most popularly used providers for not only telephone operations, but also television.
It is currently headquartered in Dallas, Texas.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
