– Serious Gum Collecting –
In the last week of 2013 we had a special visitor from Wrigleys to have a look at the collection. Various items were carefully examined others are were inspected more swiftly. We are very thankful for the nice items added to the collection.
On May 5 we received a new package from Wouter in Norway. With this package our collection exceeds the 11.000 items! Thanks to Wouter an all other contributors. We still continue to collect new items.
On 29 and 30 January we visited the last 2 days of ISM2013. This fair was a success; we gathered 552 new items for our collection. Manny thanks to all exhibitioners who contributed their gum to the collection. We welcomed new exhibitioner Paul Stiven / Camouflage SrL from Italy. They showed a new line of exclusive packaging.

Hawaii, to me it sounds exotic. In October we received a very nice extension to our collection. We got a photo of a shelf with gums and we were able to send our wish list. What an effective way of selecting the gums wanted for the collection. See the photo’s below, on the left the photo of the shelf and on the right the new gums.
October is an extremely busy month. The collection has grown with over 225 items in this month only! Many thanks to all contributors! This month we also pass a magical barrier of 10.000 items in our collection! Wow that is a lot of gum! The number of new items in the collection this year will also be 40% higher as last year record of 877 new items. I think we can stand with our ‘slogan ‘DutchGum.nl, Serious Gum Collecting’.
