Long Description: 

On the green ink side of the bill is a lot of Russian lettering and the bill has 1000 in the corners and on the left and right. There is a lot of Russian writing on it, and in the center, under the writing is a swastika. The date at the center bottom of the bill it has 1917, and the Serial # starts with a  Russian letter that looks like a capital F (without the bottom flag of the F) and the rest of the Serial number is: O 180668. The Serial number is printed on the upper right and lower left corners of the bill on the green side.The scroll-work/artwork under the writing is very ornate.
The obverse has three colors: red, green & blue. There is 1000 printed on either side of the center artwork - the center artwork is a picture of a building that looks a little like the White House with the sun over it and lots of rays streaming from the sun. There is a lawn just under the building and then there is a leafy half-wreath with a scroll with two words in Russian, one on top of the other. the top word looks like it's spelled: ROCYAAPCTBHHAR (The R at the end is backwards). The word underneath this is spelled: AYMA. Above and below the 1000s is printed with another Russian word that looks like it's spelled: PYbJIEN - the JI looks like it's actually one letter and it looks like a fancy A. The second letter looks like a lowercase b mixed together with an upper case E. There's lots of multi-colored scroll-work and a border in blue that looks like Victorian wood work like the kind you'd see framing a door, or crown molding. It looks like a sylized, four-petaled floral pattern throughout the border, and the corners of this border have individual squares with a four-petaled stylized floral pattern. I'm very interested to find out the history of this bill  (for instance, why the swastika on Russian money???) and to find out what it might be worth. (Yes, I'm willing to sell it.) I'm not a professional photographer, so some of the pictures have shadows.

Poor
Long Description: 

I have not had this verified to be sure that this was owned by the Nobel Prize winner George H Hitchings or not. What I do know is that his address from Seattle was written on the inside and he had written his initials all over the inside of the book, even poked holes in one of the pages.
There is a strange symbol that he did have of the G and the H combined. He had written on the inside that the book was from the eighth grade. Actually it appears to be written "8 B Grade".
It is also written on the back of the book "Geo H Hitchings is A Reading". There are also numerous notes taken within the book.

This is my greatest prized possession but if it is worth it I am willing to sell it.

Condition:

Long Description: 

My grandfather was in the US Navy during WWI and brought these 2 notes back from Russia. They are dated 1917 and in good condition. I had a Russian friend look at them and she said they appear to be a ticket to a government "lottery" of some sort. On the backs are the pay-off scale and they expired in 1927 and 1928. One is in green ink, the other brown. They have stamped certificate numbers that are different. On the bottom in small print is: American Bank Note Company
