Description
Issued in Rath nd Remscheid by the ‘Mannesmannroehren-Werken’ (Mannesmann Pipeworks) and undated but dating from 1918-1921 as per catalogue, these 10m & 20m pieces are very interesting indeed!
These fascinating examples of 1918-1921 ‘grossgeld’ notgeld issues, are both interesting and actually tragic, as the text on the back of the pieces explains – the company is having to give out payday vouchers to their workers because of the lack of cash for their paypackets. Both notes are in ‘used but good’ condition, as they have been folded in half at some stage. The fronts are the 2 pieces you will actually receive – the back picture is just for reference.
(I can provide further info and translations to anyone who purchases these 2 pieces if required.)
