anyone still using hinges ?

I have 3 packs of Gibbons ready folded ( 2 unopened x 1000 ~ one opened about 500 at a guess)

If anyone uses these let me know and they will be in the post to you ( free )
( just hope they still work )

LOL, I concede

 

and look who taught us......hahaha

 

I resemble that remark! ...hinges are bad I.M.O.

 

Heck I still have a pack from 1963 and they work great! *(I use them in my journal on stamps I don't care much for but look cool enough to make the final cut...)

 

I'll take that as a "yes please" then Jay
PM me you postal - they are on the way only I have found some more since - should keep you and most of that side of the pond supplied for life

 

not the way I use 'em up; I go thru maybe 1000+ a year. I particularly dislike all current forms / types of hinges. 'Peelable" my ass. They either don't peel or they don't stick. I'd trade 1,000,000 of today's hinges for 100,000 of the old Dennison green hinges; those were peelable (for the most part).

'Anywho', I can't: (1) justify the cost of Hawid / Scott / Prinz mounts for cancelled common world wide [Hmm, let's see - 50 mounts per pack of pre-cut @ say $3 per package into 80,000 = (80,000 / 50) * $3 = 1600 * $3 = $4800. Nope - not gonna go there !], (2) justify doubling the volumes of my albums to accommodate the added thickness the mounts would add to each page. At least for the older pages in my albums where all the stamp pictures are close spaced, the extra width and height of the stamp mounts would get everything misaligned; discovered that 'problem' mounting my 160 or so Canal Zone stamps in the fancy mounts.

Not to be a snob - I do use the more costly mounts for my classic and mint US, as well as my classic and mint Canadian's. They make perfect sense where preservation of the MNH condition, or the $200+ stamp(s) justify not wanting to create 'thins' when removing the stamp(s) from the album. Or for improving the display in the specialized albums with the spacing that allows the stamps to be mounted without overlapping the mounts.

 

PM me your postal Larry _ I can have a bag in er ... umm... Tuesday's post ( we have a Bank holiday on Monday )
Or if Jay "chickens out" - about 4000 could be on their way

Jeeeez, did not realise how hard it is to give stuff away on here

 

Na I didn't want em BB Thank you though!

 

LOL

Come on then Larry, they are all yours no charge and I will even throw in some free GB used stamps ( on the envelope )

Hey David what are you doing awake at 5:24 in the A.M.? Licking too many hinges eh?

 

Nah I am distinctly " unhinged" Jay ~ mind you, licking hinges is nearest I am going to get to glue sniffing !

5.24am ? ~ It was a choice of listening to the wife snoring or making love to the dog == on balance my shed of stamps was the correct decision !

( I was actually in my shed at just after 4am )

 

If I knew you were throwing in some used GB, I would have taken some hinges.

 

I don't use hinges, but I know some collectors who will. I tried giving away about 3-4000 months ago here on the forum with no luck. I took them to my stamp club meeting and had half the room fighting over them.....so if you can't find someone to use them, let me know

 

Thanks Sam

I have posted a big pack off to a board member ( I hope they still work )

But if I find anymore I will let you know
