Where the bolt came through on the back of the wood was covered with this old stamp. You can faintly see "CCCP" on the bottom if you look closely.

Every bit of this package showed meticulous attention to detail. I make theater props that are often handled by the audience during the show, so I have a very critical eye about flaws or anachronisms in historical props. This was absolutely flawless! From the dated Russian newspaper to the actual stationary from an English hotel, this thing amazed me. How did you even get ahold of this stuff? I was also delighted that all of the letters were typed on an actual typewriter.

This is the absolutely perfect gift for me. I love science fiction, weird Soviet-era stuff, and I passionately like a good story. I also lost a finger in an accident a few years ago, but now I can say that I once again posses ten fingers.

Secret Santa, this is easily the best gift I have EVER received. I had more fun opening and examining this than I've had in a long time. This gift was just so perfect for me.

Thanks, thanks, THANKS!
