This is a rare illustrated product catalogue issued in 1940 by the People's Commissariat of Local Industry of the Ukrainian SSR, showcasing a range of utilitarian and household metal goods intended for mass consumption. Published on the eve of World War II in both Kyiv and Lviv, it represents the efforts of Soviet light industry to standardize and supply everyday items—from kitchenware to tools—to the population of one of the USSR's largest republics. The catalogue serves as a valuable historical document, reflecting the material culture, design aesthetics, and economic priorities of late pre-war Soviet Ukraine, while also illustrating the state's attempt to organize and promote domestic production through such official publications.
