I have a certificate for tow thousand shares of ELMET INC. stock from 1974. How do I find a current value.?

ELMET closed up shop Years ago. Chances are that the only way to redeem it is to check on your local states Unclaimed Money website.

Elmet Inc is no longer a publicly traded company (since 2006). 
The stock is worth $6 a share, if it hasn't already been paid.

The value of the stock has likely been turned over to the unclaimed property in the state of the shareholder.

Having a stock certificate does not make you the owner of the stock.
you can purchase stock certificates on ebay.
