This zinc set (not aluminum as previously thought) was produced by 1МПЗ (1MPZ) or 1st Moscow Instrument Making Plant. They were manufactured as souvenirs for sale locally and for export. One set, the 1МПЗ hedgehog ashtrays, were marked with their logo and were manufactured later in the 1980s. The other set has a winged logo and was manufactured earlier in the 1970s for “Авиаприбор” or “Aviapribor” before the name was changed to 1МПЗ (1MPZ) in the 1980s. The earlier sets often have raw silver colored metal without the addition of darker applied patina and polishing. They were both manufactured as souvenirs and possibly given away as promotions for Aeroflot, which is probably where attribution-rumor came from. Both dishes are considerably lighter weight (being made of zinc) with silver polished nose and spines and incised fur, eyes and ears. “Babies” for both trays usually have elongated legs. The Russian 1МПЗ and Aeroflot branded hedgehogs came in a box reading “ёж сувенир” which translates literally to “souvenir ashtray hedgehog.”
