Beautiful certificate from the Charlottesville and University Gas Light Company issued on April 4, 1861 (issued 8 days before the beginning of the U.S. Civil War). This historic document has an ornate border around it with the company name on top center. This item has the signatures of the Company's President, J. S. Davis and Treasurer and is over 147 years old. The certificate was issued to G. A. Perdicaris and endorsed by him on the verso.
