Description

"The Craftsman Company" was the name of the firm that published Stickley's magazine "The Craftsman," though it remains unclear precisely when this certificate was issued. It may have been part of the initial or early funding of this venture, though it is equally likely that it was issued in the 1910s, when Stickley was issuing stock in his companies in an attempt to stave off financial hardships.
