Thank you both! I will hang on to them for now - I'm thinking of getting a local auction house involved once I've sorted through everything. At...
I'm clearing out my family home, and coming across all kinds of stuff, including these old tins. Sorry for the photo quality, but I just wanted to...
Thanks everyone... we've had another tiring day, clearing the kitchen this time. I never realised such a small room could hold so much! Your best...
As promised, more photos of item 2., the cameo: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I tried holding it up to the light, but I only have a wide angle lens...
Great site... I looked through all the letters, but at first glance didn't see anything similar... it looks like a lower case 'n' that has been...
Thank you! Yes, I can see how similar it looks - I assume the mark on the back is the maker of this particular piece. Thanks for all the...
So no.4 is gold? Sorry to sound stupid! Unfortunately I don't have a macro lens at the moment - I'll see if I get a better photo in the daylight...
Sadly I've been clearing my family home (dad's moved into care) and there's a LOT of stuff. I'm finding jewellery everywhere, tucked in...

More information here ... note that 'Prof' AA Marshall becomes 'Dr' AA Marshall (?), assuming it's the same person of course :-)....
Thanks! Seems obvious now I think about it! It's likely to have been a bank in a large town or City. My home town didn't have banks like this...
Agree! I've kicked myself a few times for hesitating too long ;-) Now I'm trying to decide where to hang this new one - very pleased I listened to...

How wonderful that you can see the likeness :-)
Makes sense, evelyb30, thanks :-). I'm struck by the depth of the counter, and how the tellers are so exposed (no divides or partitions).
I haven't heard of it either, Bakersma. I wish I could read the small lettering underneath, but all I can make out is 'Bank Raids'. I guess this...
I wondered about the scales too... I thought it might be a post-office at first, until I saw the 'Bank Raids' notice. Hmm, could still be a...
I came across this framed photo in a charity shop yesterday, and almost didn't buy it... walked out of the door, and immediately went back in...
