One of the group, Esfir Mostkova, told Western newsmen that she had been vainly seeking permission to go to Israel since 1948.

"Most people think we're a bunch of old eccentrics pushing toys around, but it's like chess in a way." The devotees follow the art in publications like Tun-still's, sport their own society ties, and patronize specialized stores such as London's Tradition Shop or The Soldier Shop in Manhattan.
