Stanley Aerial Navigation (CA) 1901. 5 shs. No. 803. Green underprint. Gold Seal. Justice. Stanley published an illustrated brochure promising potential investors that his airship would successfully fly from San Francisco to San Jose and back within an hour, making Hindenburg´s Zeppelin look silly. There are several assessments on the back, showing that the enterprise was not immediately profitable. IU. VF+. A beautiful example of this early aviation piece.
