...and we are merely microscopes? Develop your own (better) metaphor with this solid black plastic microscope stage, 5" x 4", another fine product from the old Soviet Union. With a 1-7/32" dia hole in the center and a threaded 1/8" dia hole straight through, and (4) threaded holes (Also 1/8" dia) on the underside for mounting the iris and condenser assembly.

You can tell military budgets have been cut when Russia starts selling us her uniform buttons. Our bushels of buttons are 1/2" to 1", mostly metal (brass, copper, silver), mostly Russian (with some Canadian, French, and others), all interesting and collectable. The shiny brass buttons with the stars are nice, if you don't mind a hammer and sickle. We'll pick out (10) for you, but can't promise which ones.

Attention, Comrade. You ordered all of these red report covers in the glory days of the USSR, when bureaucrats ruled the Kremlin, and now you are responsible for them, even if you are down to your last Soviet Bloc country. What do you mean, nobody wants RED folders any more? These nice folders with red backs and spines and clear-plastic fronts, made to hold 3-hole punched 8-1/2" x 11" paper? You just better start sending out propaganda about Christmas and Valentine's Day, Comrade, because you have a lot of red report covers to pedal!

Except this one's a lot newer, and from a former Soviet bloc country that no longer exists, which is why we have it. But it's your basic mobile military lamp, in this case made for filling teeth in the field, but perfectly usable for any outdoor surgery, or for bunker-themed decorating. Stands on a 26" wide (at the feet) x 5-feet tall steel tripod with a 39" boom. Has an 8-foot-plus power cord with a Euro plug, a 7-1/2" x 4-1/4" x 2-1/2" power transformer box hanging off the boom, a 5-1/2" x 11-1/2" reflector/lamp housing with a 24V 150W halogen bulb (plus a spare), and a 34-foot power jumper with alligator clips for battery operation. The whole MASH-worthy magilla comes in a 27-1/2" x 14-1/2" x 11-1/2" reinforced wooden carrying case with handles and hasps. Will also take commercially available halogen bulbs.

Search for zlotys on the beach, or just be the first militaria collector on your block with a USSR-era Polish army surplus mine detector. (That's a Polski armia nadwy?ka möj wykrywacz, we think.) Comes complete with (8) feet of pipe (in 2-foot sections) for getting farther from the mines, a 5-foot cord on the headphones, a log-book, a canvas carrying pouch, and a small box wrench. The downside? It's battery operated (and may even come with one or two dead ones) but not by batteries in any size we recognize, so making it operable could be a challenge.
