The package is bright red with a blue star and a white \u201eNorth Star\u201c logo. The package says \u201eBlend of USA\u201c, but the excise stamp (1B, Russian) and inscriptions indicate that this is a product intended for the Russian domestic market. The simple, bright design creates associations with Western products, but this is a post-Soviet production, rare in modern trade.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"689\" data-end=\"714\"><strong data-start=\"689\" data-end=\"712\">Value assessment:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"1172\">\n<li data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"900\">\n<p data-start=\"717\" data-end=\"900\"><strong data-start=\"717\" data-end=\"737\">Collectible value:<\/strong> Average.
