Secret signs: deciphering symbols on clothing labels. The most expensive badges of the USSR What does a textile piece mean

Russian badges have a rich history, but in recent years, Russian falerists have been attracted by the rare badges of the USSR, of which a large number were issued during the Soviet period. They cost a penny then, but with the collapse of the Soviet Union, their value has risen sharply. Now collectors are chasing badges and badges from that era.

Many Soviet people had a hobby - to collect, i.e. to collect something, a hobby, as they say now. Especially such a passion for collecting was manifested in children, among young people. But quite adult, elderly people were sometimes not alien to collecting. Their eyes also lit up at the sight of a rare, valuable thing or object.

What was collected most often by collectors of all ages?

icons;
postcards;
match labels;
envelopes.

Not all at once and remember what children and adults collected in the Soviet country. All items listed in the list were easy to purchase, buy cheap, exchange. They did not require large investments to replenish their collections. They took up little space, unlike, for example, antique furniture or automotive rarities. Age in collecting stamps, badges, match labels, etc. didn't matter.

Faleristics, along with philately, was the most popular form of collecting in the Soviet Union. The main reasons for this:

a large selection of icons;
small price;
varied topics;
a large number of falerist societies.

The hobby for badges began in children almost from preschool age. And at school, young collectors could no longer calmly pass by the Soyuzpechat kiosks, specialized stores, where there was such a variety of bright, colorful, interesting badges on display. Some young falerists sacrificed their breakfasts and lunches at school to buy them. They saved up the money given by their parents for food without telling them about it, and then bought the badge they liked. Growing up, most of these collectors lost interest in phaleristics.

USSR badge theme

The subject matter of the badges of the USSR is so vast and varied that it is sometimes impossible to determine which of them a particular specimen belongs to. The greatest interest was caused by badges of the Soviet era on the topics:

space;
sport;
anniversaries;
military;
state, political, public figures;
story;
transport;
heraldry;
portraiture;
architecture, etc.

In the Soviet Union, about one and a half dozen enterprises were engaged in the production of badges and other badges. Some were produced in large quantities, others were limited to a small number, copies of which are now included in the catalog of the most valuable. The price for them sometimes at auctions exceeds more than 1.5 thousand dollars. This confirms the interest of falerists all over the world in Soviet badges.

A badge was mass-produced in the Soviet country, which can be called political. There were many different children's and adult public organizations, interest societies, etc. in the USSR. Many of them had their own badges.

For example, first-graders were accepted at school in October. In this children's organization, younger schoolchildren consisted of 3-4 years and wore a badge on their chest in the form of a five-pointed star with little Volodya Ulyanov (Lenin). Then they were accepted as pioneers, and at the age of 14 they joined the ranks of the All-Union Leninist Communist Youth Union (VLKSM), with the obligatory wearing of the Komsomol badge.

Political badges include signs that were made and issued, for example, to members of the voluntary people's squad (DND), deputies of party congresses, winners of socialist competition, five-year shock workers, etc. Currently, they are of no value, but, nevertheless, some collectors show interest in them.

In honor of outstanding political, state, party figures of the USSR, significant dates, badges were issued in large quantities. Every collector could buy them and then exchange them. At that time, the price for them was small. However, not all badges were sold in the Soviet country. Those were issued that were awarded to the foremost workers, for example, "Drummer of Communist Labor", "Drummer of the Five-Year Plan" (the number of the five-year plan was indicated: 9, 10, 11, etc.). There were also those that were issued under numbers, they were issued to a certain category of people.

Expensive badges of the USSR

Expensive badges of the USSR are rare and valuable pieces that are highly valued by collectors. You can buy them at auctions for fairly high prices, which sometimes amount to over one and a half thousand dollars. Let's see what factors influence when determining the value of a particular copy of a badge or badge produced in the now defunct state of the USSR.

the material from which the badge or sign is made;
the year they were made;
circulation, i.e. the number of issued copies;
the presence of engraving on the sign;
instance state;
stories associated with the icon.

Falerists are in demand for expensive signs made of heavy metals. The price of aluminum badges is very low.

The year of its manufacture affects the rarity, and, accordingly, the value of the sign. The earlier he was born, the higher his age, of course. Especially valued among collectors are rarities issued in the early years of the young Soviet Republic and before the first half of the last century.

Affects the value of the badge put up for auction, its circulation. The fewer copies were made, the more expensive will be its cost.

The presence of engraving on signs causes great joy among falerists. Such specimens are rare and valuable.

Poorly preserved badges and signs are not particularly popular with collectors, even though they may suddenly turn out to be rare specimens. The condition of a product is an important factor in determining its price.

Such copies are valued that have one or more interesting stories associated, for example, with circulation, with the former owners of the rarity.

Labeling - good or not? On people - it's not worth it, but on clothes - it's absolutely necessary. What icons and why do textile manufacturers use for their "secret messages"? What is the difference between hand and machine wash symbols? Knowing the decoding of these mysterious symbols on the tag, you will keep your things for a long time.

Marking: "crop cannot be saved"

How often, when we see clothes in a shop window, we buy them without hesitation. However, after several washes, the thing begins to shed, stretch and become covered with spools. A familiar picture? And all you had to do was pay attention to the symbols indicated on the tag. It is even better to do this before buying the product.

If there is a dry cleaning symbol (circle) on the label, think about whether you are ready to constantly spend money on professional cleaning? Things with such a designation, of course, can be cleaned and washed on their own, but at your own peril and risk.

The label on clothes is an important element. Inside the finished item, as a rule, 2 tags are sewn. One contains information about the composition of the fabric, the other - instructions for the care of the product. Sometimes all information can be located on one label.

Proper care of things consists of 5 stages - washing, drying, ironing, cleaning (if necessary), storage.

The symbols on clothing labels are international. They are established by the standard “ISO 3758:2012. Textile products. Care labeling with symbols. Its analogue is valid throughout Russia - “GOST ISO 3758-2014. Textile products. Marking with care symbols. The location of the marking containing information on care, fabric composition and manufacturer is regulated by GOST 10581-91 “Sewing products. Marking, packaging, transportation and storage. The standard has been put into effect since 1993, its requirements are still mandatory for garment factories in our country.

Symbols on tags

The symbols on the labels can be divided into groups - washing, drying, bleaching, ironing, professional care. In the same sequence, they are located on the product tag.

The general rule for any clothes is to shake the item and check the pockets before washing. T-shirts with slogans and shirts should be turned inside out before washing - this way they will last longer.

The generally accepted designation of washing is a basin with liquid, inside of which recommendations on the temperature regime are shown. This is the first picture in a row of symbols on the label.

How to decipher the bleach and dry cleaning icon

Few housewives know what the designations of a circle and a triangle can mean. In order not to ruin your favorite item, it is important to remember which items are allowed or not dry-cleaned, bleached or cleaned with chemicals.

If suddenly the label bothers you, it is better to carefully cut it off and save it. When you carry a complex item for cleaning, the specialists will be very grateful to you for this reminder.

In addition to professional dry cleaning, there is wet cleaning (eng. Wet-cleaning) - professional wet cleaning. With this method, water is present as a solvent, and the cleaning itself takes place in a special washing machine. This treatment allows you to completely remove stains that could not be removed with dry cleaning.

Dry cleaning (professional dry cleaning) consists of two steps - pre-treatment and directly machine dry cleaning. At the first stage, a stain remover is used, at the second - a solvent. The cycles are repeated until the spots disappear. Then the thing is launched into the rinse and dry mode.

What does the spin and dry label mean?

The symbol of drying - a square with the most varied content of the pattern - will tell you how not to spoil the thing at the last stages of care.

The meaning of the symbol "Ironing"

This icon looks like a flat iron. Everything is as simple as possible here - first, determine whether it is possible to iron clothes. Then, on the home iron, set the settings in accordance with the designation.

The label on the clothes is the instructions for caring for things.

If you want to follow the manufacturer's recommendations in full, pay attention to the information on the composition of the material. For example, clothing made from natural fabrics should be treated with caution, while synthetics should be ironed at a certain temperature.

You need to choose a washing mode based on the composition of the fabric - the higher the percentage of synthetics, the easier it is to care for the thing

Marking on the tags is present both on domestic products and on foreign-made clothes. Usually a foreign manufacturer indicates the composition of the fabric in two Latin letters or whole words. The main thing here is to have a decryption table at hand.

What does textile piece mean

When buying a thing, a bag is often attached to the inner seam, inside of which there is a spare button and a small flap of fabric. This is an irreplaceable thing - with its help you can determine how the thing will behave when washed, whether its color will change and whether it is possible to use a stain remover with it. It will help you find out the properties of the fabric from which the clothes you bought are sewn, without risking the thing itself. And also with the help of this piece of material you can check whether the fabric will sit down after washing. To do this, you need to attach a flap to the cardboard and outline the borders. Then wash, dry and reattach to the cardboard. If the boundaries do not match, then the product is prone to shrinkage.

This piece of fabric is your indispensable assistant in the selection of clothing care

Wool	Wool products should be washed with mild detergents for wool. When drying, in order to avoid deformation, woolen products are not hung. Wool items after washing are laid out on a flat surface.

Wash, bleach, dry clean - international designations on labels

In addition to symbols, warning or prohibition inscriptions may be indicated on the labels. They should be brief (according to GOST) and contain maximum information with a minimum of letters.

The most common washing instructions are "Wash with similar colors" for example. This means that the item should only be washed with clothes of similar colors. Also, under the symbols on the tag, you can find the inscription "Keep away from fire" - this means that the product does not need to be brought to an open fire. For example, fur or synthetics.

Looking for expensive badges of the USSR or products, the price of which "does not bite"? Soberu.ru online auction is always at your service! Or maybe they decided, on the contrary, to profitably sell the existing gizmos? And this task is solved with us as simply as possible, quickly and without even leaving your home! There are many valuable things in our catalog, for example, Soviet Cosmos badges or sports badges, etc.

Badges of the USSR and the technology of their manufacture

Badges in the USSR were mass-produced for almost every significant event or anniversary in the country, and in large series and circulation. They were dedicated to certain topics, for example, tanks, planes, the Ulyanov family, etc. However, they were often dedicated to minor events or even objects. Among them, of course, there are rare specimens, the price of which is quite high.

Various technologies are used for manufacturing, which to a certain extent affects the cost:

sunset
etching without enamel
etching with enamel
resin etching
resin filling.

As for sunset products, they are made in various shapes (square, round, oval) and are distinguished by a traditional fastening - a pin. An image is applied to the plastic base and covered with a waterproof film coating to provide protection from mechanical stress.

Copies made in the USSR by etching come in various shapes (from square to triangular). This method is rather complicated and time-consuming. First, the part that should be protruding is emulsified, then the product is placed in acid, and the uncoated areas are etched with acid. Then enamel is applied and the product is placed in an oven to dry. Next comes the resin coating for gloss. Among the advantages of manufacturing using etching is the transfer of the finest details to the metal.

Another manufacturing method is resin pouring. Often the most expensive badges have a brass base. In addition, unlike all the others, they are characterized by a flat shape. On the front side, the products are covered with a film with an image, then filled with polymer resin. The result is a lens effect that gives brightness and volume. Prices for such products are above average.

Of greatest interest among falerist collectors are expensive badges of the USSR, the cost of which is higher due to various factors. These include most of the products made of heavy metals until about the 50-60s. the last century. According to the price scale, it is customary to divide all copies into several groups (in ascending order):

very mass circulations (more than 10 thousand copies), having a simple execution
mass releases, but characterized by complex execution
rare badges of the USSR, but uninformative
expensive badges of the USSR, the price of which is high due to the interesting design and history, the availability of documents
very large in size products with complex design
the most expensive badge of the USSR, the price of which starts from 10 thousand dollars (a category with exclusive options).

The rarest badges of the USSR

In the list of rarities that can be categorized as the most expensive badges of the USSR, items produced before the Second World War stand out. For example, for the metal emblem of the Friends of Radio society, you can get from 10 thousand dollars. Copies called "Dobrolet" are also highly valued.

Looking at a specialized catalog, you can find out that small series are held in high esteem, designed to popularize the Society for the Promotion of Defense, Aviation and Chemical Production (Osoaviakhim). Similar products began to appear with the development of aviation. In 1926, a copy dedicated to the international flight to Angora from Paris was released, which became a real rarity.

In addition, the catalog of expensive USSR badges contains varieties of the 1930s, produced in limited series on equipment that has been preserved from tsarist times.

Good deals for you!

Emblems are very different. At the moment, there are a huge number of them in the world. They will identify the quality of products manufactured by a particular manufacturer. Not every motorist will determine the brand of the car only by the badge.

The image of the sign has . The process of formation of any of them took a very long time, because not every automobile enterprise immediately began to produce vehicles. Therefore, icons, like cars, have been constantly improved. At the same time, the roots of both are “buried” deep into the last century.

It should be noted that there are as many emblems in the world as there are car brands. All brands of cars in the world cannot be listed and counted. There is no exact answer to this question in any source. Some car enthusiasts have more than 2000 pieces, while others have about 1300. But this is unofficial information. Many brands are produced within the same country, so not all people know about their existence.

To date, no one will answer the question of exactly how many car brands are registered. At the same time, there are more than 60 of the most famous of them.

In the article you will find answers to questions about how the car brand was formed and what its emblem means.

Famous vehicle icons - the main car emblems of the world

Here is a list of emblems:

Acura. The emblem resembles a caliper. The simplicity of the drawing is due to the fact that at the time of the creation of the brand in the United States it was quite difficult to register a new trademark. The official logo register contained many similar trademarks.
Alfa Romeo. The logo consists of two borrowed parts: a red cross on a white background and a snake devouring a person. The first element has long been present on the coat of arms of the city of Milan. The second is an exact copy of the coat of arms of the Visconti dynasty.
Aston Martin. The original version of the logo was an intertwining letters A and M. The wings identify the speed inherent in the produced cars. They appeared on the logo only in 1927, they were borrowed from. A year later, it was decided to give them a fashionable outline.
In 1947, the logo was supplemented with the name of the then owner - David Brown.
Audi. The four rings used for the logo symbolize fusion. Each of the elements represents the companies merged in 1934, such as Audi Automobil-Werke AG, Horch Automobil-Werke GmbH, Dampf Kraft Wagen and Wanderer Werke AG.
Bentley. The main element - the winged capital letter B, is the personification of strength, speed and independence.
Due to the color scheme, three types of manufactured cars are distinguished. Thus, green is the hallmark of racing models, red - sophisticated, black - more powerful vehicles.
Emblem Bentley - on the example of black
bmw. The first appearance of the company logo dates back to 1917. It featured a propeller. Since 1920, the logo has not undergone fundamental changes. It can only be noted that since 1963 a different font of the abbreviation has been used.
The main element of the logo is a black circle, the inner space of which consists of four sectors. The silvery white and sky blue colors in which they are painted are traditional for Bavaria.
Brilliance. Company presents . Given the fact that the price is affordable for consumers, the high quality of the vehicles produced should be noted. Perhaps this was the reason for calling them "diamonds".
The name of the brand speaks for itself, and the car logo, consisting of two hieroglyphs, is a written confirmation of this.
Bugatti. Connoisseurs of cars manufactured by the company know very well why the emblem is made in the form of pearls. The logo contains the surname, as well as the initials of the founder - Ettore. Sixty dots along the perimeter are nothing but pearls.
Buick. The history of the logo is rich. The current version is three framed shields. Each of them symbolizes three models, as in the 1960 version of the emblem.
BYD. It didn't take long to create the emblem. This is a kind of simplified version of the BMW logo. Color, shape, slightly distorted vision - and you're done.
Cadillac. The family coat of arms of the de La Mothe family is used as an emblem. In 1901, the industrial city of Detroit was formed on the territory of the then Fort Ville d'Etroit.
Caterham. Caterham Car Sales was a Lotus dealer. In the early 70s. Graham Nirn, who headed the company by that time, bought the rights to produce Seven cars. After that, the sports car changed its name to Caterham Super Seven. If you look closely, you can see elements similar to the Lotus emblem. As for the magic number 7, it was present on the company logo for a long time, involuntarily reminding of the model of the same name.
Since 2011, there has been some structuring. The version of the emblem presented in January 2014 can be considered a confirmation of this. It is clearly different from the usual Super Seven. The green color remains unchanged, which now outlines the outlines of the flag of Great Britain.
Chery. Chery Automobile Corporation places a logo on its vehicles, the outlines of which resemble the abbreviation of the company name. Among other things, the emblem symbolizes hands, which are characterized by strength and unity.
Chevrolet. Louis Joseph Chevrolet is a famous racing driver and mechanic. His performance at the 1905 Vanderbilt Cup caught the attention of the owner of General Motors. In 1911, Louis Joseph was asked to name the produced cars after him.
The bow tie emblem symbolizes the success of the famous racing driver.
There is an opinion that the emblem of the company was nothing more than a picture on the wallpaper, which William Derant, its owner, drew attention to while staying in one of the hotels in France. The second version, which was told by his wife, says that a similar logo attracted the attention of her husband at the time of the next turning of the pages of the newspaper.
Chrysler. Walter Percy Chrysler, a former vice president of GM, was born into the family of a railroad engineer. He dreamed of producing his own cars, based on experience and striving for excellence. In 1924, his thoughts began to materialize through the reorganization process of the two companies. Four years later, their list is replenished by Dodge, and later by Lamborghini with American Motors Corporation.
Since 2014, the company has been a semi-independent division of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, producing passenger cars and minivans.
The modern version of the emblem has similar features with the Aston Martin badge and symbolizes speed, speed.
Citroën. The emblem is a double chevron consisting of V-shaped badges. It was very often used in heraldry. In the case of the Citroën emblem, this is linked to the start of André's career. And it began in the workshops of the Esten brothers, who produced spare parts for steam locomotives. In 1905, he becomes their partner and organizes the production of gears (gears). Gradually, the company becomes a manufacturer of auto parts, and then launched its own conveyor.
Dacia. That was the name of the territory of modern Romania. The ancient Romans called it Dacia, in honor of the Dacian tribe that lived here. The car factory is located in the city of Pitesti.
Given the connection with the tribe, whose totem animals are wolf and dragon, it is not surprising that the original version of the emblem resembles dragon scales. In addition, it is worth noting the scaly armor characteristic of their warriors.
In 2008, visitors to the Geneva Motor Show were the first to see the new Dacia emblem. The logo, upon closer examination, resembles the letter "D", on its straight horizontal line the full name is written in dark blue letters. The silver color of the main element indicates the status of a subsidiary of Renault.
Daewoo. The name of the company is translated as "great universe". Many sources say that a shell was chosen as an emblem. But the version with the lily is more plausible. If we compare the emblem of the company with the well-known Fleur-de-lis, which is heraldic in nature, then they are very similar. This is not surprising, because fleur d'lys is literally translated from French as "lily flower". Among other things, this flower is considered to be a symbol of purity, greatness and innocence.
Daihatsu. Since 1907, Hatsudoki Seizo Co., Ltd based at Osaka University has been producing car engines for over 20 years.
In 1951, changes took place during which a new enterprise was formed, which was called Daihatsu. Dai i Hatsu (大 and 発) is kind of an abbreviation, as Osaka is written as 大阪, and "engine manufacturing" as 発動機製造.
As for the emblem, it is a stylized element resembling a capital letter "D" and symbolizes compactness combined with convenience. No wonder the company's slogan is the statement: "We make it compact."
Dodge. The company was founded by the Dodge brothers in 1900. They were engaged in the production of auto parts. Then it was decided to produce cars. In 1928, the company became an integral part of the Chrysler Corporation.
Initially, the company's emblem was a round-shaped medal. Two interconnected triangles, forming a six-pointed star, were located in the center. Inside it was a capital D and B, the phrase "Dodge Brothers Motor Vehicles" framing it on the outside.
The ram's head was first used in 1936. In the period 1954–1980. the element was not observed on the logo.
From 1994 to 2010, the main distinguishing element emblazoned on the emblem of the company, again becomes the head of a bighorn. Given this circumstance, it is worth noting that this is due to the inherent assertiveness and power of these animals.
Now the emblem looks unpretentious: the name of the company in combination with two red slanted lines, symbolizing the spirit of sports.
FAW. On the Russian-language website of the company, the logo is described as an abbreviation of the "First Automobile Corporation of China" (China FAW Group Corporation, short for First Automobile Works) in Chinese. Here we see an image symbolizing an eagle.
As conceived by the owners, the emblem symbolizes a corporation spreading its wings and conquering space, like an eagle.
Ferrari. The history of the emblem is closely connected with Francesco Baraka, an air ace, on whose fighter everyone's favorite horse flaunted. Enzo Ferrari, like most Italians of that time, was a fan of the great pilot of the First World War.
Seeing this element for the first time, Enzo did not pay much attention to it. This happened a little later, when Ferrari was lucky enough to meet the pilot's parents.
From July 9, 1932, a black horse flaunted on the company's cars.
The yellow background is the color of the city of Modena, and the three stripes at the top of the emblem are the national colors of Italy.
The initials SF are nothing but the acronym for Scuderia, or Ferrari Stable, a racing team that was formed in 1929.
Another interesting fact is that the prancing stallion can be seen on the coat of arms of Stuttgart.
fiat. The emblem of the Turin car factory, Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino, changed very often. But the most significant moment is considered to be 1901, when instead of the full name of the plant, they begin to use an abbreviation and a new form of edging. This is followed by a period when the shape of the emblem takes on either round or square outlines. The basis of the modern emblem is the motives of the previous ones, the period of 1931-1968. The chrome edging, the color, the features of the 1931 FIAT 524 model are the idea of rethinking the old emblem. FIAT positions itself as a dynamically developing company remembering and proud of its past.
Ford. The emblem is extremely simple - the name of the company in an oval border. This decision has become a symbol of practicality, moreover, it is easily recognizable.
FSO. Polish Fabryka Samochodow Osobowych (FSO), which translates as Car Factory. Founded in 1951.
Starting in 2010, the company launched its own production of cars under the FSO Lanos brand, since at that time the plant belonged to Daewoo.
As for the emblem, it is a combination of FSO silhouettes: the letter f, supposedly consisting of a capital S in the center of a neat outline of the letter O. Red represents passion, quality and trust.
Geely. Geely Group Co., Ltd was founded in 1986.
