The Mysterious Device Used by Soviet Women to Mend Stockings: Unusual Everyday Items from USSR

Today, many household items from Soviet life are not just rare objects, but also mysterious devices for the younger generation – after all, many of them are simply not needed now.

Look at this small object?

It seems that this is some kind of small musical instrument like a barrel organ. You press a button and some simple melody starts playing. But in reality, almost every Soviet woman used this item.

And not at all for a musical break.

In fact, this item was used to darn stockings and tights. Now you can go to any store and buy new ones, but, unlike today, nylon stockings were in great short supply back then. Therefore, if a hole formed on them, they rushed not to throw them away, but to mend them.

This item was made in Leningrad – at the Industrial Plant of the Sverdlovsk District Council.
