I was able to find one mention of the company in Oregon well records. Their name is associated with one well drilled in 1954. Likely their one gamble and that was it?

Look on PDF page 15, document page 11:

I wouldn't say that. If someone actually has a completed certificate from this company, they may like also having your clean copy. Now how you find that buyer is the tough part.

This type of certificate was something that local printers would buy "blanks" of and then print your name and other details. Yours, being blank, was probably from a book of them the company owner had to issue as needed. Here is basically the same design for another oil company, but dry cleaners, used auto dealers, or anyone who created a company could create stock from these types of certificates.

Printed by "GOES" a famous lithography firm

not mine, from internet




GOES is still in business printing the contemporary equivalents
