Cardboard Mailers

….Cardboard Mailers…

…Cardboard Mailers…

…friend of mine is helping his folks downsize before they move somewhere smaller than the family home….he brought me  this box of cardboard mailers that his Dad had “accumulated” when he was a member of the World Record Club, local purveyors of budget music…

…hmmm, pre-decimal postage?….

…didn’t we go decimal just a few months after my family arrived here in 1967?…. (rhetorical…that’s rhetorical)….

…these are “well-curated” for being in the basement for nearly 48 years…

…why, the tape is like it was just cut yesterday…

…and this one appears to pre-date the advent of the World Record Club’s Postal Permit…

….cardboard mailers.

…(cardboard mailers are a bloody important tool in my trade…folks from out of town will spend more if you are able to offer them firm, safe packaging for their purchases….mmmm….cardboard mailers).

Heavy Shelling @ Bored In A Record Shop

… I am very busy …. following my stats….. far too busy to write cohesively ….

…. seems that the young chaps whom I photographed for my post

https://boredinarecordshop.wordpress.com/2012/12/29/come-on-in-the-cardboards-fine/

have discovered the evidence and are in the process of letting all their mates know…

… while I do appreciate the huge spike in “views”, I hope for their sake that they take into account the small degree of separation in NZ….

…and that they haven’t “friended” their employers on facebook at some point in the past and forgotten about it….

…. so if you , my small gaggle of regular followers, will  forgive my distraction…

…  and  accept this gift of shell pictures until I return to my usual, little noticed, self.
