Faberge, in Cyrillic, one page, 8vo, n.p., 31st October 1916. The partially printed document, in Cyrillic, is a receipt issued to Otto Ottovich Bauer for his purchase of six shares of stock in Faberge's company at a cost of 5,000 rubles each, totalling 30,000 rubles, and states that the receipt will be 'exchanged for genuine shares once they have been printed by the State Printing Office'. With a partial revenue stamp affixed to the left edge. Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VG In 1916 the House of Faberge became a joint-stock company with a capital of three million rubles. Following the outbreak of the October Revolution the following year the business was taken over by a Committee of the Employees of the Company K. Faberge and in 1918 the House of Faberge was seized by the Bolsheviks. In early October the stock was confiscated and the House of Faberge was no more.
