I think, but I am not sure, that this is a lathe on this Soviet Union 1957 stamp celebrating Russian Machine Shops. PP, maybe you can tell? The thing in the background hanging from the ceiling is a travers in Swedish, which is probably the same in English. Note Lenin up to the top left.

Yes it is a lathe hanging from the traveling crane...also a lathe in the foreground, for you swedes a Svarv, not sure I spelled it right...
I didn't even see that is was a lathe hanging from the crane, wow! Two lathes on one stamp!
Certainly a lathe or rather two, yes. Somewhat funny composition with that lathe in the crane... Where do you get all these nice stamps from with such a variety of themes? I never knew that you were a stamp collector. I have a heap somewhere (had? did not see it in the latest move). What kind of stamps do you collect? Anything with nice pictures or?
I used to collect stamps (I got morfar R's album too, still have it). But these days I only collect stamp images from the internet and keep them in my vast image database :)
Try to google a variety of combinations of stamp, postage, topical, and the image you are lookg for, like "hummingbird stamp" and you usually find something. Plus, US and Sweden has websites with all the stamps released in the last 10 years.
