Well they should unless it was bankrupt in between??
I think you will have to find out who the transfer agent was.
The company was bought up. And those certificats may have been declared
lost, but the owner still could have been paid for them. If so, then
they are only valued as a collectable.

I have a friend who showed up today with two mint condition stock
certificates for the Cessna Aircraft Company. One of the stock
certificates for 5 shares was issued in 1970, the other for 5 shares
was issued in 1978. One of the certificates was signed by Russ
Meyers.

Does anyone know if these stock certificates have any value?
