Description
The Alto Cedro Sugar Company was incorporated in 1916 to own the newly built Alto Cedro mill in the Oriente province, Cuba. This venture was part of the sphere of influence of the West India Sugar Finance Corporation. In 1922 the mill became part of the Sugar Estates of Oriente when the intial company failed. The large mill survived nationalisation during the Cuban revolution and may still be operating today.
Typical 1916 First Mortgage Gold Bond with a somewhat unusual vignette of the coat of arms of the Rebublic of Cuba. Punchholes and stamped “Specimen”.
