Amalgamated Oil Company stocks

I have a friend that was left 1000 shares purchased in 1917, they were given to him by his grand father before he died, are they worth anything today?

Your best bet there - is to contact a licensed broker to help you track that sort of thing down.

I agree with Airelon, your best bet is most likely to find out where the shares are actually being held and trying to investigate from there. Regardless though shares never expire like say a gift card so as long as they are in the family name they are legally his.
