"Orlyonok" and "Igra-Tekhnika" produced quality tin lithographed toys on high guage metal. "Tekhnika" operated for many years in Leningrad (after 1991 - St. Petersburg), and "Orlyonok" in Moscow. The factories fell victim to escalating costs and serious competition from the Chinese and eventually went bankrupt. The selection of toys below were from these factories, production dates from 1980s to mid-1990s. Very limited quanities.
