Subject: RE: BS: Long gone stationery supplies
I'm currently scanning a collection of song sheets from the late 50s to the early 60s.

The singer was a teacher & typed most of them. Some are carbon copies on thin paper, others are original typed copies on foolscap & quarto paper. Paper with watermarks! A 2 page letter starts on company letterhead, but the second page is a very thin paper.

Some are roneoed (club history says an early member had access to a roneo machine)

We also have in the club archives cut & paste pages setting up our journal, & also several cut & paste posters. For young folks these are scissors & glue jobs, but the club was founded in 1954!

ps. I have a collection of carbon for use in the Club's bank deposit books!

pps. I also have a collection of blotting paper with the stamps I use in card making.
