Look what my wonderful co-worker and friend Gerry gave me!
This is not all of them. Oh no. This is a just a fraction of the bounty. Go get yourself a
cup of coffee. This is going to take awhile.
Cremo. 5 cents straight. 3 for 10 cents.
I love the excise stamps. I successfully soaked one off of one of the boxes, along with
some of the labels. They are so cool. It destroyed the box, though.
The graphics on this one are much more delicate and beautiful than they look in the
picture. As with all of the images, click on it for a larger view.
Beautiful graphics on this one. The signature alone is a stunner. Click for larger view.
The boxes came from an uncle of Gerry's. He was an electrical engineer and stored
various parts, etc., in them.
Aren't they beautiful? I hope you've enjoyed this tour of my major score. Thanks Gerry!
