Sexy Stock Certificate

When Playboy sold its first stock in 1971, they felt their certificate should reflect their main enterprise. Hence the appearance of Playmate Willy Rey, who alas met a sad end just a couple of years later.

You can own one for a mere $400.00.

Why would I want to own a Willy Rey? She must be pretty far gone by now.

Interesting that they didn't black out the owner's name and address.

Gives a new twist to the phrase "stock split", doesn't it?

Naturally I can't find any examples online at the moment, but I know that currency in the US once carried artistic nudes. I remember reading that one particular bill was banned in Boston.

She was beautiful, so sad the way she died.
