The Polish People’s Republic (abbreviated as PRL) was a specific period in the history of our country, which lasted from 1952 to 1989. If you are too young to remember it, you can ask your parents or grandparents what everyday reality was like back then. Some people would certainly prefer to forget about these times, including: because you had to wait in store queues and the availability of products was, to put it mildly, very limited.
Most Poles led very modest lives, however there are those who still remember the Polish People’s Republic with sentiment. First of all, because of the simplicity of life, human kindness, iconic delicacies () and objects produced in that period.
Today, collectors can pay a fortune for some things from the times of the Polish People’s Republic. This applies primarily to old coins, banknotes, newspapers and books, as well as porcelain tableware, figurines and crystals produced in Polish steelworks.
At online auctions unique jewelry also reaches dizzying prices, including: rings, earrings and bracelets. There is also no shortage of people willing to buy necklaces, and that’s not all, because furniture, clocks, toys and Christmas tree baubles are also very popular.
