<p>[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 497556, member: 84"]So I get a call from someone who said a friend of his in Russia saw my ad on craigslist for 3 Chagall prints I have (2 prints + a expo poster)! And he wanted to come look at them & take closer photos for his friend. He also saw I had vintage albums & toys. I invite him over & after photographing the prints/posters and looking at what my albums & toys, he asked me if I was interested in a group of 18 vintage ceramic cowboys & Indians from Germany that he had in his trunk - which I end up buying.</p><p>But while we were looking at them in his car's trunk I saw a box & when I asked him what it was he said a factory manager gave it to him the last time he was in Russia (he was from Russia). He didn't know what it was for but I thought it was cool & very different - and I asked if he wanted to trade for Yoko Ono John Lennon art exhibition flyer/poster I had seen him staring at & he agreed (he was interested in anything Beatles to take back to Russia when he left).</p><p><br /></p><p>So now I'm wondering what I have? If you look at the bottom of the "tower" you can see where there is a small hole - maybe a jewel or fake jewel went there? </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, near the top is some kind of symbol - a square with a cross & the planet earth? in it - what does that mean? A symbol for what the factory did?</p><p><br /></p><p>The piece is a lot brighter than it looks n the pics taken with the flash (see 3rd photo), but 1 man looks like he has a pole with a cup on the end?
