A promotional cube from Politechnika. Advertising for the namegiving office.

Politechnika (later renamed into Politoys) is wellknown as the original producer of Rubik's Cube. Lesser known is that Politechnika also produced a large number (at least 39) of promotional cubes. These were sold in various blue packages known from that era.
The version shown here advertises for TESCO. TESCO Nemzetközi M?szaki Tudományos Együttm?ködési Iroda (TESCO International Technical Scientific Cooperation Office) was a Hungarian foreign trade company founded by the Ministry of Foreign Trade in 1962 as a public company. It is an abbreviation of Technical Scientific Co and has no relation to the international retail company Tesco.
The main task of TESCO was the coordination of intergovernmental scientific and technical cooperation by employing Hungarian specialists (doctors, engineers, university lecturers, scientific researchers), primarily in developing countries. It was succeeded by TESCO Consulting Kft. in 1991 and is privately owned since 2003.
The logo is shown on all six face pieces.
No package is known.
The year is unknown but 1983 is an upper bound.
