Description

Delaware..... 1932. 100 Shares I/U Capital Stock Certificate, Black print with orange border and undertint. VF condition, Central BNC. Both W9XAP and W9XAO Television stations owe their technology to Chicago television inventor Ulises A. Sanabria. Sanabria began public, experimental telecasts on June 19, 1928. Sanabria, an Oak Park, Chicago native, conceived of television as a high school freshman in 1925. Sanabria's television epiphany occurred about the same time as Philo Farnsworth's. Some four years later, Sanabria demonstrated his working television system. Behind the glass, a mechanical TV set displayed the first pictures from Chicago station W9XAP. The station inaugurated its television service on the evening of August 27, 1930. W9XAP's mechanical television equipment painted grayscale pictures with a mere 45 lines. Historic early Television Pioneer company founded by Sanabria with his facsimile signature as president. This is the first time offered by our company.
Estimate: $100-200
