Boot Fair Bargain

[randyraven]

This could be the best so far.
I have picked up a Laurel and Hardy signed bit of paper at a boot fair. The autograph are pucker ...The paper is faded and show good age. The autographs are clear and in Biro and Fountain pen ...as expected.
They are framed with a picture of the pair ..The frame is cracked and chiped and show good age ...
Question ...The frame is backed with old newspaper.
I'm trying to age the paper from the ads ...It's a local advertiser ..they are looking for work men and woman ..boys and girls ..Aged 15 - 16 in some ads.
One ad is looking for a manager of a lyons tea room in Nottingham and another a bricklayer for �10 per week ...
Anyone got any idea of what year this might be ...ish ....
Also a 1 bedroom flat for rent for �2 per week ..well guinees ...?

PS Payed �4 for it ...ha ha ha ....Will sell on for �300 + with luck

Yes ..It's the best buy so far. It's 100% pucker as well....
The frame is dirty ..dented ...chiped and got cracks ....
The two eyes in the frame are old and rusty....
the bit of paper glued on the back of the frame ...is yellowed and brittle and full of ads from years ago ...
the picture inside the frame is faded ...
the autographs are fine ..the paper they is a little faded and has a small water stain ....
Yep ....can't be bad for �4 I say ..and I knocked him down from �5 ...
