EDIT: If anyone gets a chance to visit downtown Halifax (parking is a major problem) you have to visit this museum! Where else will you see deck chairs from the Titanic? Also if you're into scale models some of the ones they have are incredible. I know people who have lived in the city for many years and have never visited the local museums, it's amazingly stupid!!

I don't have anything quite as unique as that. If I did, I would be proud to own it.
The closest I can come is a tag that was attached to a bag of cash.

Great item Antonio! It's stuff like these odd items that make collections more interesting. "What they're worth" really doesn't matter, it makes the album more fun to look at! I put quite a bit of this stuff on the back of album pages so I actually see them more often. I also have about a douzen stock books full of stuff but I really don't look at them as often as I should. The only problem is the darn album bulge!!!

I don't know if this is an urban myth or not but I read somewhere about someone trying to send a person through the mail because it was cheaper than a train. Is it true... GOK!!!

There are a few known examples of babies and children being sent through the mail.

Have had this for quite a while. I believe the proper name for this is a mailing bag and it's dimensions are 3 3/4" by 7 3/8" and is cloth. I picked it up at an antique auction many years ago as part of a huge lot of early locks and keys - it contained a padlock from the company. The company doesn't exist any more but it was a well known ship's chandlery in Halifax. It's store front is still on Lower Water Street and is part of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. It only has historic value for me so I don't care if there is monetary value, it's just a real neat item IMHO!! It has a place of honour in my collection on the page next to that series of 1942 - 43 stamps contributing to my case of album bulge. Does anyone of you collect this sort of "stuff"?
