The W.Reginald Bray Appreciation Society

Some say that Reginald Bray is the founding father of the mail art movement. In 1900 this chap even posted himself. This group aims to test the patience of the postal service. What is the strangest object that you have been sent?What is the most bizarre object that you can send?

In the 1980s I once sent my friend a banana in the post.I stuck a stamp on to it,wrote the address in biro & popped it in the postbox.Not only did he receive it but he ate it for his lunch.

Has the postal service got a sense of humour?Together we will find out ...

    Of course John, they belong to the world not to me.  Maybe they will add something to the store of knowledge (I thought I had already sent you them ages ago anyway . . . ).

    Nice finds!  Although they are rather "dull" compared to some they do have a certain something - maybe it's just the fact that Bray posted them and he signed them.  I'd certainly frame them if they were mine.

    I think I saw this in 2017 but nice to see again and amused to see Bray was deemed "only slightly bonkers" .
