DescriptionA sheet of bonds with 17 different proofs of stocks in German Marks. On a light background, there are 16 identical rectangles equally spaced containing a blank section where the Mark number would be entered and an empty white oval area for a stamp. They are on a light brown background and contain designs of triangles and a large flower acting as a background behind the black text. There is a handwritten signature on each and the only differing element on each one are the dates. Starting in Januar [January] 1926 and moving to Juli [July] 1926 for the next example, the pattern is repeated for Januar 1927, Juli 1927, etc. until Juli 1933. A separate square is on the right side of each rectangle and the identifying number is "No. 376378." Above this is a longer rectangle across the whole sheet for 50,000 Marks. The 50,000 is stamped in black on the right side, and there is a blank box on the right containing a geometric pattern in light brown. The title for this rectangle in German is different but it has the same identifying number. The reverse contains the same paragraph on the flipped side of each rectangle with information in German.On View
