A vintage sacking, hessian or burlap grainsack La Poste printed mail sack.
Probably this item dates from the last quarter of the c20th.
The sack is printed with a central brand stripe, La Poste in yellow and blue.
The interior is also printed which makes this sack reversible.
The top edge has a reinforced hem with rope inside to help keep the sack open when being filled. The side seams are also reinforced.
The bottom corner has WAREIN 98 printed in blue.
A good basic example of the famous and sought after La Poste mailsac. Condition is good with no holes or major wear, there is a mark on one side which I have photographed.
Size, approx 73 cm wide and 113 cm long.
