All of the following pieces of ephemera date back to the 1930's and a great collection of various pictures and old prints. All are in a very good order considering their age and the scans do not do them justice, any 'major' imperfections or signs of age will be mentioned.
All prints and old adverts are scanned and the images are reduced in size and adjusted to be viewed on a 'laptop' monitor. I have 'lightened' some to show just how good they are, most have none or very little 'foxing' or signs of age and are in excellent condition in my opinion.
