Souvenir Shop Window at Arbat in Moscow

Souvenir shop window at Arbat in Moscow.

What do we see here? A ship cabin clock Vostok 5-ChM (look it up right here on my blog), a tank clock, various photo- and cine- articles, an SVT and a PPSh, etc.

Sec of State John Kerry was here too (at a different shop nearby) late last year (2015), I think.

Vostok Ship Clock 5-ChM / Arbat, Moscow

Saw today a Vostok Ship Clock 5-ChM in the window of a souvenir shop on Arbat Street in Moscow.

Among the assorted Lenins and other stuff (including something that looks like hand grenades and a couple of swords), there is a Vostok 5-ChM Ship Cabin clock, a large wall mounted hand-wound mechanical clock.

It is very expensive there. I have and use a newer version of the Vostok 5-ChM clock.

Overall, Stary (Old) Arbat looks much as usual today -- full of baskers, street performers, old book sellers and some foreign tourists. There are also lots of (expensive) souvenir shops there.

You can take a photo on this rig supposed to represent a WWII motorcycle with a sidecar with a machine gun mounted on it meant to be operated by the sidecar passenger.
