1984 KZ700 Grenada Postage Stamp & Others

Rediscovered this little item in my desk today. I purchased it on eBay 10 or 15 years ago. It is a postage stamp from Grenada with my motorcycle on it -- the 1984 Kawasaki KZ700-A1.



Some basic research and I find that it is from 1985. There are other varieties and as of this post were still being offered on eBay. They range from under $10 to about $300 (for the proof sheet with the misprint). I found them by searching eBay for "Grenada Motorcycle Stamp."

Alternatively you can grab a beer, sit back, and let the cards pass you by. The entire set has been uploaded to YouTube as a slide-show.



Web results on these is very limited. It doesn't seem that the company is still business. A gourmet nut seller is currently at the address on the box. There doesn't seem to have been a Series II. These are beautiful cards so it is a shame.

If anyone is interested, as of Jan 2022 I am offering a sealed set on eBay (SOLD 04-2022). https://www.ebay.com/itm/203777195405 Otherwise, enjoy this free look.

Trademarked Kawasaki Products

Do you collect Kawasaki accessories? Here are a few to watch for. This brochure was sent to Kawasaki dealers sometime in the early 1990s. Some of the products were fairly expensive while others had such a low profit margin that it is very possible that dealers in general did not order very much of them--we sure didn't. On the other hand, if this company later had to drop the prices and sell them on closeout, just maybe there are some examples still out there.

















At one time I had the black Ninja phone, Ninja keychain, semi-truck, and airplane bank. All have already been sold on eBay though. Someone else's turn to enjoy them. What I could probably use now would be the mountain bike.
