What is the date on that?  The ruble has gone through several

History

  • The Ruble has been the official currency of Russia for nearly 500 years. The kopek was first introduced in 1710, with a value of 1/100th of a Ruble.
  • In December, 1885, the Russian Ruble was revalued to a gold standard, pegged to the French Franc at 1 Ruble = 4 Francs. This value was revised in 1897 to 1 Ruble = 2 2/3 Francs.
  • During World War I, the gold standard was dropped leading to devaluation of the Ruble and hyperinflation.
  • The “second Ruble” was introduced on January 1, 1922, followed by the “third Ruble” in January 1923.
  • The “fourth Ruble” (or “Gold Ruble”) was issued in March, 1924.
  • Following World War II, the “fifth Ruble” was introduced in 1947, in order to revalue the currency and reduce the amount of paper tender in circulation.
  • The introduction of the “sixth Ruble” occurred in 1967, under a similar process to the “fifth Ruble” issue.
  • The “sixth Ruble” remained the official currency of Russia during the transition from the Soviet Union to the modern Russian Federation, though new notes were issued in 1993 to reflect the change.
  • The “seventh Ruble” was issued on January 1, 1998, essentially devaluing the Russian Ruble at a rate of 1 new Ruble = 1,000 old Rubles.

The hat size and price are stamped in red ink ... 

For the hat size it looks like it might be a 58 ... 58mm would be like a 7 3/8 - 7 1/2 or so ... Sooooo .. that seems correct.

The price is the stamped number next to the "8-26" and that "looks" like it might be "7897" ... !??!? s10.gif.2a340ad58d5f3350b4f76ef808ce69da.gif

 

At the very top (3 lines) ... The first line says "District" something ... but first word is District.

The first two words in the second line says "Household Services" ..

The third line ... the UBB stuff ... I haven't a clue what that means.
