Until about 1992 I used to supply the UK stamp trade with kiloware bags, which were made up by my father, who was a retired non- philatelist. Making them up basically helped pass the time for him during his retirement.
Anything and everything would appear in these bags, both on and off paper,(as I said my father was a non-philatelist) and I often used to hear about the "finds" that came out of them. They were sold at stamp fairs and in stamp shops around the UK and were in great demand.
My father died about 3 years ago at the age of 94 and I´ve found a box of the world kiloware bags, which, at the latest, he would have made up in 1992 - over 15 years ago.
I´ve started selling these bags off and already buyers are coming back to bid and therefore buy additional bags. This speaks volumes about their value-for-money!!
The world kiloware bags can have stamps in them from any country in the world. The one, which is for sale, is the one which you can see in the scan. (I have not picked out the best looking bag, I have just picked out the one at the top of the box.)
The starting price is deliberately set low to encourage keen bidding.
Please remember, I only have a limited number of these bags and once they have been sold, there will not be any more. (The demand from the stamp trade for these bags is likely to be high, so this may turn out to be one of the few, which you have the opportunity to buy!!)
THINK ABOUT IT - HOW MANY OTHER LOTS OF 15 YEAR OLD + WORLD KILOWARE ARE BEING OFFERED ON DEL CAMPE?
SO DON´T DELAY - BID NOW!!
