German linen notgeld 3 Marks Wollstein, scarce!!

Germany produced an extraordinary number of banknotes in odd materials such as leather, linen, silk, aluminum foil in their long slide into economic chaos in the early 1920s. Bielefeld, a textile town in Germany led the way in manufacturing some intricate and highly allegorical notes.

However, while this note is made of linen, it was made for the town of Wollstein although it is not dated.   My gut feel is that it dates to 1915 but that is only  a guess.  

The note is nearly uncirculated although it appears someone penciled a small "25" on a lower right corner at some point in the past.   

Measures 3.75 inches by 2.5 inches.

Wonderful note and this is the first one I have ever owned.
