Yes, I got some very nice painted wooden items, tshirts and lots of lapel pins from the time... "Friendship Pins" with the Soviet and American flags on them. I also still havc a very stale pack of cigarettes called "Sputnik" with cool space age photos on the box. Of course I have loads of memories, like of the water vending machines where there is a glass that's used by everyone who buys a drink of water... drink the water then put the glass back in the holder in the machine!
