In booklet format measuring 3" x 4", in oilcloth-bound covers. The front cover has less lettering than similar IDs from previous decades: just the omnipresent communist slogan "Proletarian of all countries, unite", the name of the document "Trade Union Member's ID", and below, the Russian abbreviation ВЦСПС (VTsSPS) which stands for All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions. Typically for documents issued in Soviet republics where Russian language was not native, all the printed text is in the local language, Latvian in this case, and Russian. The personal information is filled in Russian only as the owner of the ID was ethnically Russian. It identifies Zoya Strukova as a general laborer with Baltmorput, Baltic Maritime Transportation, the organization she worked for.

In very good condition. It would have been excellent if not for the cut out ID photo. There is no other ostensible wear. All the printed and handwritten text, stamp and signature are crisp, clear, and perfectly legible.
