Brown paper bin sacks


Recommended Posts

Hi smary and St Petre - I'm glad you also remember these bags as whenever I mention them to people I get a blank look! In the 1950s/60s they usually cost 4d and often had the shop name etc. printed on them. The top of the bag where the string handles were attached was reinforced with cardboard. Thanks to Google here is a photo of one.

Thanks Mr.H. Perhaps that's the world's shortest phone number on the bag.
