T.L. Williams founded The MAYBELLINE Company in 1915 and introduced MAYBELLINE Cake Mascara in 1917 as the first modern eye cosmetic to be produced for everyday use. The firm and brand name MAYBELLINE was adopted in honor of his oldest sister, Mabel, from whom he originally received the idea of producing an easy-to-use product to darken the eyelashes which could be sold commercially. MAYBELLINE now operates as a separate division within L'Oréal USA, Inc. Cake mascara was originally advertised and sold exclusively by mail. It was received so well by the general public that women started asking for it in drug stores. The MAYBELLINE success story didn't really start until mascara first appeared in the nation's variety stores. In September 1932, a special 10-cent package of MAYBELLINE mascara was designed for sale in these stores. The subsequent success of this product has become legend. Today, MAYBELLINE products are carried by virtually every major U.S. mass-market retailer including drugstores, discount stores, supermarkets and cosmetics specialty stores. They are also carried in more than 70 countries worldwide. Fashion dances to a Latin beat.

Now recognized as a color authority, MAYBELLINE creates seasonal color stories with products in the season's hottest shades. The MAYBELLINE image is hip, intelligent, stylish and charming - brought to life by MAYBELLINE'S spokespeople: Josie Maran, Tomiko Fraser and Sarah Michelle Gellar. These women embody the MAYBELLINE image in a modern, approachable way. Technology continues to be in the forefront. Through their parent company, L'Oréal USA, Inc., MAYBELLINE has the top research and development teams and resources needed to create the newest, most innovative products available today. MAYBELLINE - a leading mass-market retailer with a strong heritage and bright future - is clearly one to watch.
About Specimen Certificates Specimen Certificates are actual certificates that have never been issued. They were usually kept by the printers in their permanent archives as their only example of a particular certificate. Sometimes you will see a hand stamp on the certificate that says "Do not remove from file". Specimens were also used to show prospective clients different types of certificate designs that were available. Specimen certificates are usually much scarcer than issued certificates. In fact, many times they are the only way to get a certificate for a particular company because the issued certificates were redeemed and destroyed. In a few instances, Specimen certificates we made for a company but were never used because a different design was chosen by the company. These certificates are normally stamped "Specimen" or they have small holes spelling the word specimen. Most of the time they don't have a serial number, or they have a serial number of 00000. This is an exciting sector of the hobby that grown in popularity and realized nice appreciation in value over the past several years.
