Bonds and silverware - what was found during the renovation of the merchant's house?

During the reconstruction of a two-story building on one of the streets of Krasnoyarsk, which once belonged to merchant Andreev, a treasure was found.

According to experts, it was hidden about 100 years ago under the floor near the stove. It is impossible to establish exactly who its owner is. The reason is simple: in this house tenants alternated very often.

Among other things, government bonds of the interim government, various banknotes issued in 1907, 1909, 1910, 1917, bonds of the interim government with the face value of 25 rubles were discovered. Also, the builders found a silver plug and tongs, old newspapers, flyers and a gasoline lighter.

All items are well preserved. For example, according to experts, one of the banknotes found in 1907 with a face value of 500 rubles, which is signed by the manager Konshin and the cashier Sofronov, can cost 60 times more than the nominal.
