Iron Curtain Crayons

At the same time I was drawing in Philadelphia with Crayola Crayons made in Easton, Pennsylvania (crayola website), my wife was drawing in Słowino, Poland with Friendship Crayons made in the fellow communist People's Republic of China. Below is the artwork from a box of these rare crayons, along with some other cool communist-era finds from my last trip to Poland.

My wife's parents had some serious style.
