Unfortunately we don't have such a thing. Especially in 1922, we didn't even have TIPS, or 100 year bonds. The best case scenario you're looking at something like 10 year treasuries at 4.3 percent[1] in 1922. Shorter durations will help match dramatic inflation moves things get weird in the great depression -- a bout of 10 percent deflation happened in 1933.
