Wall Papered With Worthless Bonds And Other Odd Decorations
A New York businessman wallpapered his private office with bonds worth about 160000 pounds in nominal value that have no real value due to failed gold mine ventures. Other tales recount a college street Tennessee house covered with land grant certificates worth 2000000 dollars, a London debtor wallpapered with unpaid bills, and a wall adorned with stamps or love letters. A Manchester solicitor used old mining shares as study decoration, while a South African venture led a man to hide wealth on his walls. The stories warn against speculative schemes and show curious ways people used worthless securities as decor.
