Tin Lithographed Toys.

"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 eventually went bankrupt in the 1990s. The selection of toys below were from these factories, production dates from 1980s to mid-1990s. Very limited quanities.
