Haha, happy to oblige!!! Thanks for your suggestion... nothing on 'Sd' so far but I'll keep looking ;-)
So... as if I don't have enough 'stuff' from clearing my parents house, I spotted this little brooch in a charity shop this morning and couldn't...
Thanks again, everyone. It would be great to know who the designer was... the more I google 50s fabrics, the more significant it looks....
Thanks for your comments :). They were tucked away in a cupboard and I'm not sure dad would like the idea of me going through everything (he's in...
Many thanks of the info. When I'm less tired I'll do some research into HMS Keppel. I'd ask my dad where he got them from but don't want to remind...
Thanks everyone! I'm inclined to frame (or stretch) a piece but keep the rest as it is for now. There are three lengths - I haven't measured it...
Found in the linen basket of my parents home - three large pieces of this lovely fabric. The photos have a warm cast to them that the fabric...
I came across two books of military cloth badges and armbands and other bits and pieces while clearing out my parents home. I'm so tired at the...
Thank you for putting me out of my misery! He is SO familiar, and it was driving me crazy trying to think why... well done :)
Wow, thanks everyone! I'm glad you like the album. I found an old newspaper article that refers to 'photo stamps' which seemed to be a fashion...
Thanks Fig, glad you find it interesting too! Here are a few more photos - a bit blurred in places because I'm still getting to grips with a new...
Thanks... were the albums specifically made for these tiny photos? I'm only really familiar with CDV-sized photos or the small tintypes.
I was excited to pick up this small album today - it measures just 9.5 x 8.5cm and contains 48 portraits, each of which is tiny at about 3 x 2cm...
That's a great article, and photos too... and probably explains the tins I found. I've looked to see if there are more, lurking in other...
Thanks again! I meant to ask about the best way to clean them, you read my mind. I'll go and have a look for sunshine cloths... :)
I didn't know such a thing existed - thank you! I found them quite easily :) Yes, somehow the colours have gone, it must have looked wonderful...
Maybe the clear parts have yellowed with age? Looking very closely, the blue areas have very similar swirls and patterns to larimar, so assuming...
Thanks for your replies... I found them all together and given your rough date, I think they must have belonged to my grandmother. I can see how...
Yes, it's very similar isn't it? The colour is lovely. There are clear patches in the stone of the brooch, which is why I thought glass, but it...
Wow! Those tins are fascinating but the value is surprising, even so! Ha, I'll keep looking, you never know what's going to turn up. Don't worry,...
