Moscow Metro Badges - Page 5

This is a bit off topic, but when they switched to green plastic tokens and particularly in the 1990s, the rumor on the street (or below it) was that because of the crazed fear of counterfeit - well, everything - and the fact that with rampant inflation they were often used as "currency" - the government had irradiated the "real" tokens and guys had to be a bit careful about carrying them around in their front trouser pockets. Of course it was all rubbish, but it was a good urban myth for a while.

My latest display Moscow Metro Kaganovich (finally I was able to finish it)

I suppose now all you need is one of the old railway carriages to display these goodies in!

The woman's name (Kaganovich) is all too appropriate! :thumbsup
I like the air-tite holders you have the metro tokens in.

She is wife of Lazar Kaganovich, - the head of building of Moscow Metro. This is her original document. I have few more of her documents.
Token holders are just simple coin (10c and 25c) plastic holders.

Railway carriage is too big, but for my collection would be nice to have few more things: badge, ticket from 1935 and token from 1935 :cool:
Unfortunately, I don't have them. May be some day. ;)

I'm sure you'll track them all down sooner or later. At least having tracked down a picture you know you're looking for something that exists, that's usually the first step in getting to own something. It's amazing what you've tracked down so far and I'm sure you have a truly gobsmacking display array.
