<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 4560487, member: 56&quot;]Offered to actively participating , well-known members. We’ll see what the situation is Sunday evening. Free really cheap poorly packed shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every time I saw one of these at a thrift, I bought it. So I have a few. It’s a millennium gift set produced by the Canadian Post Office.</p><p><br /></p><p>(A) The cardboard wrap on this is also the entry form to a long gone photo contest. There is a celebratory postcard that was issued with it. Bit of damage to the wrap.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]404694[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404697[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>(B) This is still in it’s original shrink wrap and never opened. No photo contest entry form here, but apparently you still get the postcard.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]404695[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>(C) Whatever original wrapping is gone. No postcard.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]404696[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The contents of the tins are all complete.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have 1 of (A), 2 of (B), and 2 of (C) to give away.</p><p><br /></p><p>The tin box (I’d guess aluminum if you want to be technical) measures about 5 3/8” (13.5cm) square and about 1/2” (1.1cm) thick.</p><p><br /></p><p>Each box contains a keepsake folder, an offset litho stamp, a holographic stamp, and (my personal favorite) an old-timey steel engraved stamp. There is also a plated steel (I presume) medallion produced by the Royal Canadian mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>The stamp sheets are 4 1/4” (10.8cm) square.</p><p><br /></p><p>The medallion is 15/16” (2.4cm) across (the same size as a quarter).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404698[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404699[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404700[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404701[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404702[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404703[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The medallion I photographed shows wear. I don’t know how that happened. So far as I know it’s never previously been out of the box. It’s not obvious wear. I don’t know what that says about the medallions in the other boxes[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
