Included in last weekends estate auction purchase were a couple of foreign covers, including this Russian from 1954. Similar to some I had on offer earlier this year (I think they eventually went on ebay) this is from a Russian book dealer. Though this cover isn't as nice a the others previously offered, it has it's contents. A postcard in perfect condition, wishing all our comrades a Happy 1955!  Card shown front and back. |
