This wooden plaque has two sides with an edging marking the front of the block. Mounted on the front is a one dollar bill with the identification number A54957770A. It has been adhered to the wood with a clear substance, or wood stain, so the bill is visible. There are remnants at the top of the bill of tape and they are a little rougher. The dollar itself is ripped at the top and bottom. The upper rip has a little piece missing so part of the word at the top is no longer legible. The bottom rip is directly across from the top one, right below the world "One." The dollar is closer to the wood color and the middle of the bill, surrounding Washington's head, is darker, almost a purple color. The wood itself is nicked in a couple of places on the front. There is a larger gauge in the upper right corner that appears right next to the bill. Another larger dent is on the bottom and extends into the dollar where the bottom piece is missing. There is a thrid dink on the right side just from use. On the back there is an inscription centered and carved into the wood. It reads "This is the first dollar taken in on the first day of business in opening the Alex's Sweet Shop 6823 W. Roosevelt Rd, Berwyn ILL on August 1928-" In the lower righthand corner it is signed "June 10, 1972, Gus Rassocianis." Around the edges of the wood are areas of stain that dripped and some blue substance on the left. Attached to the top middle is a metal fixture so the dollar can be hung.
