Question
Hi Steven,

I was going through some old stuff of my Grandmother's and found some old stock certificates she has had in a box for about 60 years.

It looks like they have some small value as collectibles but I'd be interested to know what even happened to the companies and if the stocks could still be worth anything?

Dentonia Mines Limited purchased in 1934 and 1935

Pilot Gold Mine Limited purchased 1945

Boundary Red Mountain Mining Company purchased 1922

If you can give me any information on what ever happened to these companies it would be greatly appreciated. The first 2 were incorporated in Cadana and the last one in the US.

Thanks,
Travis

Answer
Travis, from the information I have available:

Dentonia has no value. The Company was liquidated in the 1940's.

Pilot has no value - it was dissolved in the 1950's.

I have no information on Boundary Red, as it was a US company and I only have information on Canadian companies. Due to its great age, I suggest you contact a broker and see if they can find any information for you.
