You need to report the lost shares to the company's transfer agent.  You should be able to find who it is and a phone number on the company's website.  Look for a link to  investors relations.

Could not find specific info on your 100 shares but the certificate could have some value to collectors on ebay. Baker Oil Tools is a division of Baker Hughes, so check out before you go that route.

IF the stock you are holding is CUSIP# 882138100\nthen it was:\nTEXAS AIR CORP \nwith a name change effective on 6/11/90 became CONTL AIRLINES HLDGS CU# 210802104\nThat CUSIP has NO STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY 4-27-93 *NON TRANS > 6 YEARS\n\nA brief history of Texas Air can be found at:\nhttp://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/TT/ept1.html\n\nMy guess is that is is worthless.  If you want to pursue it further you can try to contact Continental's Investor Relations or their Transfer agent.\n\nInvestor Relations contact information is as follows:\n\nPO Box 4607\nHouston, TX 77210-4607\nTelephone: 713.324.5152\nFax: 713.324.2447\n\nPlease direct Investor Relations e-mail inquiries to: InvestorRelationsdept@coair.com\n\nstock transfer agent:\n\nMellon Investor Services\n85 Challenger Road\nRidgefield, NJ 07660\n888-711-6201\nwww.melloninvestor.com\n\nOR you can see if you can sell it to stock certificate collectors.  Follow the link that Barrett left you.

They are expired now. If you are affected by it, you might have to get your own lawyer to pursue but at this point, it hasnt been on the market for so long, you probably wouldnt win.

Yes this is the special form cause of loss. I do not know where on the internet you can pull a sample copy, most of the online sources require log in or a subscription service.   email me at crackers_5150@yahoo.com and I can email you a sample if you tell me what edition number you need.

I don't envy your position.  \n\nThe previous owner should have given you an example of a valid gift certificate so you could at least try to authenticate those being redeemed.  Since the establishment is under new owndership you could post a sign stating a new policy regarding GC redemption.  It could read something like:\n\n"As of February 1, 2006 (or any date of your choosing) we will no longer be able to accept gift certificates that were purchased prior to December 1, 2005 (or whatever date you took over.)  We apologize for any invonvenience this may cause."  You might also want to mention the new ownership of the establishment.\n\nHopefully since you took over you have revamped the way your GC look so you can distinguish the old from new.  You might also want to take into consideration that people may have just received the GC for Christmas and that would explain the huge redemption rate in the last few weeks.\n\nIt's one of those 'darned if you do and darned if you don't' situations.  Just make sure that if you decide to cut off the old GC, you visibly post it in your shop for all to see for at least one month.

Assuming the stocks you are asking about are in the form of bearer stock certificates (physical pieces of paper), you should find the following information on the certificate:\n\n1.  The name of the oil company that issued the stock you are holding.  You can search for this company on the internet to find out if it was purchased by another firm that still exists today.  If the stock you are holding was purchased by another firm, you may own shares in that new firm.\n\n2.  Look for the CUSIP number on the certificate.  You can do a similar search as outlined above to find out what happened to the company you're looking for.

contact your old school who will ;\n\n1- know your results\n\n2- know the exam board you used.\n\nAnd then contact the exam board who will give you replacement certificates for a small fee. Thats what I did when I threw out my results out by accident :-))\n\n\nHowever you could tell your employer any results. Because they don't care and will never check them up.\nSometimes I tell empolyers I have french GCSE, just for a laugh!!!! Nobody cares.

Try the link below, it contains many solutions but if your concerned with "Loss of property , intellectual, etc. Loss through, fire, theft, etc." I'd suggest you may want to spend a buck and hire a consultant.

You can alter the ACLs, yes, in Exchange 2000/2003.  I'm not sure in 5.5.  I can't imagine why you'd want to do this...\n\nWhat you may wish to do instead is set the cleaning up of deleted items setting to a rediculously high number of days.

Yeah it normal to be charged some fee. 2% seems kind of high, but then why do you need stock certificates ? Just keep your stocks in street name. The certificates can only be used as wallpaper if the company goes broke, they don't give you anything else.

Forward the email (do NOT change the subject line) to:\n\nenforcement@sec.gov\n\nOr go to http://www.sec.gov\n\nS.E.C. is the Securities Exchange Commission.  They handle this crap.

Write to the Bureau of Public Debt in Parkersburg WV.  Give them his name and social security number.  They will research the info and after signing an affidavit of loss will replace them.

They might have it in the footnotes somewhere, or it might be listed in the text, but that's kind of rare.  Worse case, you could probably email/call up their investor relations department and just ask.
