These days, if you buy shares in a company, the best you can expect is a pro-forma PDF digital certificate – with all the elegance of a breeze block. Back in the last century, you’d receive a work of art to record your acquisition, with classical figures and semi-naked gods welcoming you into the realm of capitalism. I bought my share certificates as a job lot for a few pence: devoid of property, rich in art.

My interpretation of this wonderful capitalist art is that it portrays two men attempting to assemble an IKEA-type multi-functional desk. The man on the right puzzles over the instructions, while his comrade on the left despairs of finding the right tools. They are saved by the beautiful maiden who brings the golden Allen key.
June and Jack Funk clearly made a wise investment.
