The underside has raised markings in Cyrillics to Bakelite base surrounding the central safety bolt area, i.e., Cyrillic “Price” followed by “23p” (23 Roubles) followed by 50k (50 Kopek), being half a Rouble, and at end, the Factory Mark, similar to an “Arrow” on top of “V”. The interior is complete with working white rubber seal and flexible tube to the syphon base. The exterior finish is nearly Mint; other than a light, shallow “S” scratch to the right white area, plus a 10mm long x 1mm wide scratch to the left black “wing”, this unit is near new, with only a soft age patina, no other damage to mention, (maybe a light clean or polish, would improve even more). Russia. Circa 1950
