DAVID D. BUICK
Stock certificate, bearing Buick's signature, that was issued for one of his few later
enterprises connected with the automobile industry.
Stock Certificate signed: "D.D. Buick" as President and "F.O. Patterson" as Secretary of
the David Buick Carburetor Corporation, 1p, 10¾ x 8¼. No place, 1921 August 20.
Certifying that F.U. Wells "is the owner of one hundred Shares of Ten Dollars each of the
Capital Stock of the David Buick Carburetor Corporation…." The corporation issued
capital stock of $3 million, and the embossed corporate stamp indicates the company
was formed in 1919. Buick (1855-1929) formed Buick Co in 1902 and invented the
valve-in-head engine. He built his first car in 1903. Printed yellow seal at lower left. By 1927
Buick, poverty-stricken and in ill health, returned to Detroit, where he took a position as an
instructor at a trade school. That year, a million cars bore his name on their radiators, but Buick
died a virtual unknown in 1929. Buick is one of the scarcest of all automotive signatures.
Slight yellowing in areas, vertical fold runs between "D.D", nicked at bottom edge just at start of
fold, otherwise fine condition. Framed to an overall size of 18 x 24½.
