It was a busy weekend, partly dealing with customer orders for discount postage so this is the first offer for this week.
D. Ephemera mixed bag, pick and choose - Free to blog followers!
D1 - Machin black postcard from the National Postal Museum 1981, printed by the House of Questa, issued to mark Ten Years of Decimal Machins. [One available].
D2. - Machin blackprint by Harrison & Sons 15 February 1971 [One available].
D3. - British Postal Order Gift Card (undated). Designed to hold a standard postal order of the time in the same way as Book Tokens and Store Gift Cards, for sending through the post. [Three available.]
D4. - Telephone Stamp Card issued by Post Office Telecommunications in 1979, before British Telecom - and I thought Busby was a BT mascot. Inside there's room for up to 20 Telephone stamps and this too could be used as a gift card to a friend or relative. Telephone Stamps could only be used to pay for telephone charges which, at the time, you could pay in cash at the PO counter. [2 available]
D5. Lastly a proper postal item - a parcel tag for the Royal Mail Parcels Direct Bag Service for mailings to Charities. When this was used mailbags would be delivered to the charity intact, which made handling easier for Royal Mail and for the charity. This may have been for the children's TV programme Blue Peter in 1994. Just one of these available.
Pick and Choose: if you are interested in any or all of these, leave a comment which I shall publish as soon as I can, and say which ones you would like. Then send me an email with your name and address and blog follower ID.
I'll mark the blog as soon as I can as individual items cease to be available.
The PUC £1 and Olympics packs from Week 46 are still available.
More to follow as I delve deeper into the boxes. If you are looking for something unusual, drop me an email about it and if I have any, I'll let you know.
Would love D1 & D2 if available!
