102 Year Old Stocks for The Kerr Oil Company — find value?
Hello Terry. I was recently going through some of my deceased mothers documents and I came across two 400 Share @ a $1.00 each, of “The Kerr Oil Company” of Lewistown Montana. They were issued on Sept 8th, 1920. The president of the company at that time signed both. W.P. Kerr. How can I find out if these stocks are worth anything?

Sadly, the one company that did this kind of research, Stock Search International, is no longer in business.
