The classic Soviet typography and graphics make this sign a strong piece for collectors of Soviet memorabilia and Cold War era items. It also suits industrial or loft-style interiors, a garage, workshop or man cave, and makes a memorable historical gift for an electrician or engineer. As a genuine made in USSR utility sign with its full original text, it shows a side of Soviet everyday design rarely seen outside the former Soviet Union.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
