Russian bronze memento plaque lathe machinery factory
Russian Bronze Memento Plaque Lathe Machinery Factory
* Look at this very interesting find. It is a memento plaque/paperweight from a heavy machinery factory
* Russian on origin, it comes together with its original maroon leather box
* On the front of the box is stamped the factory's logo - ZMM - Zavod Metalorezhestih Mashin
* The plaque represents a metalworking lathe on the front; The back is plain, which leads us think that it may have been used as a paperweight
* A RARE & ALL ORIGINAL PIECE OF TOTALITARIAN MEMORABILIA!
* Measurements: Approx. 8.75" x 4.5" x 1"; The plaque is 7" x 2.5+"
* Condition: VG/Excellent overall; The plaque itself does not show much wear and has a nice patina, developed over time. The box has some minor tears, but is still structurally sound - See photos
