Some decorations in paper envelopes

[Carlo]

Hello Gents,

in this topic I wanted to discuss something that in my opinion is little known: the packaging in which some decorations were sold.

 

We are all aware of the various boxes for the most important decorations (orders, merit crosses, merit medals, etc.) but for some time I have been wondering how the other decorations or second pieces were sold.

I personally have some paper bags that I think were the simplest and cheapest packaging at the time, but it makes me wonder if these bags were produced for all the decorations or some shopkeepers only made them for the sold pieces.

 

The decorations shown below are very common, but you don't see many envelopes around.

Do you think this is because being paper bags and not boxes they were thrown away after purchase or could there be other reasons?
