Tronoh Extended Limited, $1 shares, 19[15], no.476, red printing by The Pinang (sic) Gazette Press, adhesive Straits revenue stamp tied with Penang embossed red duty stamp, near extremely fine and scarce.

One of the few locally registered companies to be found. A small batch was found in India, presumably because the shareholder was Indian although located in Penang at the time of issue. The company was formed in 1912 to work mines of about 40 acres north of Tronoh, Perak, previously belonging to Lim Eow Hong. Voluntarily wound up in 1915.
