    Key Envelope

    Does anyone reproduce the key envelope that belongs in the owner's packet? I have a 69 and of course looking for a key envelope to complete my owners packet contents for judging.

                If you are looking for a real "square Key" envelope be sure it has the two glue "daubs" on the flap. That is how you tell and original from a reproduction. The glue is yellowish and is difficult to reproduce.

                      My wife is going to get rid or everything when I leave this earth, what would an original key envelope go for today. Don't want her to dispose of it in the trash.

                        There is an "original" one on ebay now with the key blanks starting at $100.

                          Buy or don't buy it doesn't matter to me. I only offered a suggestion to where to find one. I don't do these. Only the middle man.

                          Cheers,

                            I found a recipe on the net for making your own envelope glue, and it came out nice and yellowish and old-looking. I applied it to an aged repo key envelope, and before it completely dried I lightly closed the flap and pulled it back open. It marred the glue a bit, making it more difficult to analyze, and looking like a real one that had been barely glued shut and opened. Lost no points at the National with it. Here's the recipe:

                            6 tablespoons white vinegar
                            4 1 oz packets unflavored gelatin
                            1 tablespoon vanilla extract

                            Bring vinegar to boil in a small pan, add gelatin and stir until dissolved. Add extract and mix, then brush on thin layer and let dry. It'll dry fairly quickly and thicken so brush on pretty quickly.

                              Hey Guys, I Looked At The Key Envelope On E-bay For $100.00, I Suggest You Compare To A Known Original, This One Doesnt Look Right To Me, But Are There Are Different Versions ?
