Snail Mail: Archives International Auctions
1060 Main St., Suite 202, River Edge, NJ 07661

The auction will take place on February 27th, 2019 at AIA's office located at 1060 Main Street, Suite #202, River Edge, NJ 07661 beginning at 10:30 AM for both sessions.
Russia. Lot includes a pair of Short Term War Loan bond certificates for 1000 Roubles each, with 5.5% interest, Nos. 147273-147274. Included is a December 1916 letter presenting these two bonds as a Christmas gift to two individuals from their uncle in Houston, TX. Also included an English translation printed in color in a similar format to the bond and its coupons. These bonds floated by the tottering Czarist government during the First World War, entitling the bearer to 5.5% per year until redemption in 1926. In 1918, after the Revolution, the new Communist government repudiated all state obligations issued during the Czarist regime. The debt was eventually settled in 1986 but only in part. Very Fine.
