Stamp collectors, buy in South Africa
OVERLORD Sat Mar 07, 2015 3:10 am
About a month ago, I bought an engine I liked from South africa. It arrived today, well packed in a square carton, engine, spare head, exhaust and separate needle individually wrapped in bubble plastic. But the biggest surprise was the paper envelope: it was decorated with 43 stamps stuck on each and every side!!
And what's a really good thing to start the day is that invisible cloud of vintage castor smell that shoots up yous nose. To give it the most effect, you almost have to naturally inhale when you open the bubble wrap; it's a bit like engine timing...

Yeah, you can't do this! Show a picture of a box and not show what's inside...

Postage was not cheap, 17 EUR. But it had to travel the complete hemisphere and was brought by the postman at my doorstep.
What was in it? This:
Early 60's OS 19 boat engine.
