Armand Hammer, who owned Occidental Petroleum purchased large amounts of the Royal treasures and started selling these items in their department stores and Hammer Gallery in New York. The Hammer brothers had been in contact with Soviet authorities for a number of reasons,such as famine relief, as well as when the Soviets sought a buyer for the treasures of the Hermitage Museum as a way to earn hard currency.Victor was responsible for acquisitions for Hammer Galleries, including the so-called Romanov Treasures and Fabergé eggs. Братья Хаммеры выступили посредниками между советским правительствоми американскими арт-дилерами и коллекционерами при распродаже музейных ценностей СССР. Покинув в начале 1930-х годов Советский Союз, они продавали сокровища династии Романовых, предметы старины, картины, скульптурыиз Ленинградского Эрмитажа.
