Subject: stock

Question
I have a certificate that is issued to a Lawrence ross and is dated Feb.  25 1901 for 200 shares of stock with the kern crude oil co.  Is it worth anything?

Answer
a stock brokerage firm can look it up and take 30min to 2 hours to research that firm.  IT IS possible it was
absorbed into Standard Oil or Mobile or a biggie. IF so,
the stock is very valuable.  IF it was an independent "wildcatter", no.

also, if it WAS valuable, MR. Ross would have a gain; how would you gain?

WHERE does it say they are from on the certificate?
Who is the issuer or underwriter of the stock?
