Does Palatine Stores Inc, state of Illinois, still exist? I found stock from 1922. What can I use to track it down?

I don't believe the company exists, but that doesn't mean the stock is worthless.
See if your library has one of these:
"Financial Stock Guide Service" - a directory of active stocks (addressing currently traded, actives issues), and a directory of obsolete securities (providing a brief profile of companies whose original identities have been lost through actions affecting their outstanding stock) updated annually and through monthly supplements.
Also, either "Robert D. Fisher Manual of Valuable & Worthless Securities" or "National Stock Summary" may be of use.

A stockbroker might be willing to help you track it down.
If there is a large library in your area, you can look for a publication titled "CCH Capital Changes Reporter". It lists all of the changes in public companies' stocks over more than 100 years. If it was a public company, it should be in there

Most lilkely the company no longer exists, so the shares have no "market" value. You can try asking your broker, or taking it to the investment advisor at your local bank.
However, antique stock certificates are very collectible for artistic/historic value, especially if they are ornate or are of famous companies. If your certificate is in good condition, it may be of value to a collector. You could try taking it to an art or antique shop for an appraisal.

Check with the office of the Secretary of State of Illinois. They can tell you what happened to the company.

There is no such ticker symbol for your stock. It is possible that the stock is still good, but was traded in a merger. Contact a local stock broker at your bank
