WoX photo #93 - soviet vintage

Yesterday I visited a friend of mine who, like me, loves old stuff and collects a lot of interesting things. This person especially fond of the Soviet era, he does not have gilded rococo chairs with bent legs at home; his antiques are of a completely different kind, like: busts of Lenin, vintage vodka bottles and signs "used glass bottles are accepted here" :)

I would love to be a collector too, but I have much less opportunities for that, not to mention the fact that all this has to be stored somewhere. Anyway... I took advantage of this opportunity and took a couple of photos, keeping in mind the current theme of the week.

And these are the working copybooks which our grandparents used to learn to write.

Hand-made soldier's cigarette case (dating back to the 2nd World War). Back then, people did not have the habit of buying everything ready-made, much of what they needed, they made themselves - especially soldiers in the trenches, or peasants ... both had neither money nor convenience stores nearby.
