Lots of this kind of stuff around from the former USSR & China. Once saw one with Chairman Mao waving his hand like you used to see on the Mickey Mouse watch...... which given the quality of it was probably an accurate description* :lol:


* For out American cousins - in the UK, calling something 'Mickey Mouse' is a derrogatory term, for which we of course humbly apologise, so please don't bomb or shoot us! :shock: :lol:

I kinda like that - not enough to buy one though.
I wonder if it is Uncle Joe's era or a more recent cut'n'shut.
