Question
Are any of these worth the effort of pursuing? Hydra Explorations Ltd,Mining Futures and Holdings Ltd,Dereham Gas and Oil Company,Oklend Gold Mines LTD, Amalgamated Larder Mines Ltd. These were 1930's to 1960's stocks that I have inheirited,and I suspect have little value

Answer
Unfortunately Michael, from the information I have available, all the shares have no current value.

Hydra ultimately became CPI Plastics, which went into receivership and there was no value for common shareholders.

Mining Futures wad dissolved in 1979, and there was no value for shareholders.

Dereham became Queenston Gas, which was struck from the corporate register.

Oklend had its charter cancelled in 1967.

Larder went through several name changes and mergers but ended as Explorers Alliance, which ran into serious financial trouble and was suspended, delisted and cease-traded in 2001.
