USSR Coat of Arms Lighter

This amazing lighter is decorated with the coat of arms of the USSR, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. This coat of arms was adopted in 1918 by the government of a newly formed Socialist state, built on the ruins of the magnificent Russian Empire. The coat of arms of the USSR consisted of a hammer and sickle, glowing under the rays of the rising sun and encircled by the ears of wheat. The bottom contains the USSR motto, "Workers of the World, Unite!" Topping everything, a five-pointed star overlooks the coast of arms. The national emblem of the USSR symbolized the union of workers and farmers, the voluntary union of the fifteen republics with equality between all the nationalities in the country, and the solidarity between the Soviet workers and the workers across the globe.

This lighter will make the perfect gift for anyone who appreciates the history and the heraldry of Russia and the Soviet Union, or for anyone who likes unusual and hard-to-find items!
