Matchboxes placement
in the souvenir "square"

 
270 years to Biysk
Souvenir matches
Biysk match factory, 1979

Such souvenir "squares" were made of 4 usual matchboxes glued (as shown abobe) to two plastic or cardboard shiits. The cut-offs from usual postcard sets were used as labels. This set is a bit different because the cards were oveprinted with the text "270 years to Biysk" and because one postcard from the set (monument to Lenin) was not used - possibly not to cut off something significant to the "leader of the world revolution" :-)
