    Hello!
    You see a metal Soviet cigarette case dedicated to the launch of the "Kosmos 110" spacecraft with two dogs on board in 1966.
    On this cigarette case, the image is engraved quite deeply and legibly felt by the hands.
    On the front side of the cigarette case is a cosmic plot: a rocket flying in orbit around the earth.
    Below are engraved cosmic dogs "Ugolyok" and "Veterok".
    This space flight lasted 22 days and became the longest at that time.
    This flight was successful - the dogs returned safely to the Earth.
    A cigarette-case has a beautiful patina, inside remained gilding, as well as original flagellum for cigarettes.

    Made in USSR.
