Looking for a particular mail-order catalog

Factual Questions
1

I once bought a magnifying glass, made in Russia, from a mail-order catalog with the word “Soviet” in the name. I can’t remember the rest of the name…:confused:

2

Sounds like the Sovietskii Collection, now long-gone:

No, just your everyday magnifying glass…

I remember the Sovietski Collection. Everything from Kremlin silverware to MiG seats. I bought a few pocket watches and a couple of tea glasses from them back in the day.

I wish I had thought to buy a piece of Soviet paper money. I once saw a one-ruble bill in a display case at Los Angeles International Airport, in 1979.

No problem at all buying one cheaply at eBay.

Well, that’s true.

I have a pair of tea glasses from them.
