We cross posted, but these are my thoughts too :)
Cindy, thanks once again. I'll buy some of the filmoplast P90 tape and use that :-). I love images of all kinds but have a lot to learn about the...
You'll be among friends and fellow collectors here... welcome!
Thanks for all the information! I'm in the UK, so it makes sense that it's probably British. From what I can tell, the actual photo is a quarter...
