     § 504.  Validation of certain defective corporations.
        Where heretofore or hereafter any act has been or may be done
     or any transfer or conveyance of any property has been or may be
     made to or by any corporation created or intended to be created
     under any statute supplied or repealed by this part, in good
     faith, after the approval of the articles or application for a
     charter or issuance of letters patent but without the actual
     recording of the original papers with the endorsements thereon,
     or a certified copy thereof, in the office of any recorder of
     deeds, as provided in such statutes then in force, the acts,
     transfers and conveyances shall nevertheless be deemed and taken
     to be valid and effectual for all purposes, regardless of the
     omission to record the original papers with the endorsements
     thereon, or a certified copy thereof, as heretofore required by
     such statutes. Every such corporation shall be deemed and taken
     to have been incorporated on the date of approval of its
     articles or application for a charter or on the date of issuance
     of its letters patent, whichever event shall have last occurred.
