It first offered shares to the public in March 1962, added the Putnam investment funds in 1970 and took the name Marsh \u0026amp; McLennan Companies, Inc. in 1975. By the time this certificate was issued in 1979 it was the world's largest insurance broker, a position it held for more than twenty years. Today the group is known simply as Marsh McLennan and remains one of the biggest professional-services firms in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🎨 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront:\u003c\/strong\u003e blue ornamental border and an engraved vignette of a classical male figure holding an unrolled scroll, with a city skyline and a dam behind him; \"Common Stock\" panels, the certificate number and the number of shares, the corporate seal of the Delaware corporation and facsimile signatures of the Secretary and the Chairman of the Board.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack:\u003c\/strong\u003e the standard transfer form, with the stamps of the transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🔍 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollector Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cancelled (redeemed) common stock certificate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompany:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marsh \u0026amp; McLennan Companies, Inc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncorporated:\u003c\/strong\u003e State of Delaware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 July 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShares:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 shares each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertificate numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e NY24945 and NY24946 (consecutive)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransfer agent:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCUSIP:\u003c\/strong\u003e 571748 10 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrinter:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Bank Note Company\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXF (Extremely Fine) \/ Cancelled.\u003c\/strong\u003e An unfolded certificate with crisp paper and sharp engraving.
