Wooden Box for Screwback
Hi guys,
Wondering if anyone has seen a box like the one I bought recently. It looks like maybe the veteran himself made it for storing a screwback order. It's really well-made actually.. ![]() Thanks for looking! George |

Re: Wooden Box for Screwback
I've never seen anything like that. Is the graphic hand-painted or is it screen printed? Did you buy it from the vet? Could have several explanations, the vet may have had it made for him, or it could have been produced later as a fantasy item to possibly boost value of the set. I guess it all depends on how far back you can trace the set to the original owner. The graphic is a common Soviet army veteran device. It is also popular on veterans badges (shield w/ ribbons) and veteran commemorative postcards, just about all commemorative printed matter.

Re: Wooden Box for Screwback
What a beautiful piece of artwork! It would look great on a desk with maybe a framed postcard or other Soviet kitsch.
I'm very envious. ![]()
