Booklet format but this early version is smaller at 3 ¾" x 2 ½" than the later standard 4" x 3" certificates. Hard cover wrapped in gray cloth. Differently from later versions, the booklet has a multi-page insert. The first page of it is the certificate proper, specifying that Larisa Molchanova worked as senior economist at "Uzkoopinsoyuz", an organization managing the union of Uzbek cooperatives. The title of shock worker was awarded on 31 March 1934. The certificate bears the seal of the organization and three signatures of the so-called "Triangle", the early-Soviet term for the Director - Party organization leader - Trade union unit leader triumvirate who usually signed such documents.

What disappeared in later versions of shock worker certificates is additional pages to record monthly and quarterly work quota fulfillment rate.

In excellent condition. The cover shows zero wear, the internal pages are pristine.

Please note that the penny in our photo is for size reference.
