By default1973 one dollar notes that are not listed are worth $1.00
It would take up too much resources to list all possible prefixes.
Though your note is no longer legal tender it can still be redeemed at your bank.

Re: Can't find a 1973 serial number
Just to give some context, the first Lawson Bouey $1.00 went through over a 100 2 letter prefixes. They started with AA, than AB, AC, etc right to AZ (skipping AI, AO & AQ) then went through all the FA, FB, FC, etc to FZ, GA, GB, GC, etc to IA, IB, IC & so on right to OA- OZ & finally ended with PA. 1,809,400,000 (nearly 2 billion) were printed with 2 letters & that's not including the 26 different replacement prefixes. These are considered a bit tougher than subsequent prefixes only because they're older than the 3 letter prefixes & more of the recent 3 letter notes were hoarded in the end.
In the final years of the $1.00 the BoC printers (BABN Co & CBN Co) printed 890,000,000 3 letter prefixes (AAA, AAB, etc to AFZ, ALA to ALM & then EAA, EAB, EAC, etc to EAK) with the same original signatures (not including 4 replacement prefixes and test notes nor change-overs).
For your Crow-Bouey signature combo (like the one you posted), they printed 1,147680,000 (another set of 3 letter prefixes) so when they have billions of notes and hundreds of prefixes, the catalogues cannot list each so they produce tables (& only identify the toughest prefixes to look out for). Online catalogues have continued that convention.
