IBSS BREAKFAST IN ANTWERP PDF Print E-mail

IBSS BREAKFAST IN ANTWERP

Our yearly European IBSS breakfast again took place in Antwerp, this time at the 44th Boone Auction & Bourse on Sunday March 14th.  Roughly 40 collectors and dealers from all over Europe showed up and, besides enjoying a nice breakfast, received interesting information and news on scripophily. As usual some collectors took the opportunity to renew their membership or to join the society as paying €22 for the breakfast bought also a year's IBSS membership.
 
After an address of welcome by the chairman, Andreas Reineke, two Norwegian collectors from Norsk Selskap for Scripofili, the Norwegian Society for Scripophily, introduced their country scripophily-wise. ‘Formann’, that is Chairman, Per Otto Dahl, gave a speech on the history and development of the Society. Two auctions are organized yearly for and by members. Amazed and almost jealous, we heard of more than 200 members, a huge number for such a relatively small population. We saw the result of a poll among members to name the best looking Norwegian certificate. Leif Bjornes gave us a talk on the history of whaling in Norway and its companies, illustrated by beautiful pictures of whaling share certificates, some with US and other foreign connections.
 
NEW IBSS BOOK
Afterwards Mario Boone introduced the newest IBSS publication, number 4 in the Scripophily Library series - The Value of American's Great Fortunes, illustrated with Historic Securities, by Prof Dr Udo Hielscher. Mario Boone explained the book's US Fortune Evaluation Index using as examples some important private fortunes between 1800 and 2000. In nominal value Bill Gates is shown as the richest American ever, but revalued on the index, John D Rockefeller comes out top. The book has 96 pages and many colour illustrations of stocks and bonds, statistical tables and maps – a neat combination of scripophily, financial history and economic analysis. It has been sponsored by several scripophily dealers worldwide and is available through them.
