This stock certificate from the Houston Tap and Brazoria Railway Company is a rare and significant collectible from early Texas railroad history. These certificates represent shares in a company that played a key role in the development of rail transportation in southeast Texas during the mid-19th century. The certificates often feature a vignette of an early steam train with freight in the foreground, printed in black and white on light paper-a typical style for pre-Civil War railroad stocks.
