SHARES, STOCKS & BONDS

from the Caucasus



The following share certificates, bonds, &c. were copied from (i) this page of the amazing website of the Historisches Wertpapierhaus AG, which lists, in detail, literally thousands of such documents (the certificates below were included in a 'Russia and the former Soviet Union' auction the company held in October 2013; the online catalogue (.pdf) can be viewed here); and from (ii) delcampe.net, which also lists many fine postcards from the Caucasus.
