Amazing Find at Club Auction!

[Janet MacD]

I wrote in the January newsletter about my first stamp album, which was part of a collectors set I was given in 1967. I am fond of any box of supplies that is intended to introduce someone to a new pastime, so I was absolutely thrilled to find this Canada Post Stamp Travellers Club box at the KSC auction last week:

It was less than $10 - ridiculously inexpensive, compared to listings on eBay, which want almost $40 just to ship the binder! I didn’t look in the box before bidding, beyond seeing the binder. I just opened it today, and found so much more:

The binder, a package of precision ruled “make them yourself” pages and country name labels, an unopened package of hinges, and a stock book with the Stamp Travellers Club logo.

The stock book was full of Machins - an iconic stamp I cannot get enough of. And the bottom of the box contained a selection of kiloware:

I am so glad I was there to get this fabulous item! We are very fortunate to have a club with such frequent auctions, and members with such wonderful stuff to sell.
