<p>[QUOTE="Batman_2000, post: 88261, member: 481"]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 on average. The person I bought it off thought they might have been photos for lockets? I've (very gently) prised the loosest ones out and a couple are stamped on the reverse with 'Black & White, Manchester' and 'E. J. Care, Beswick' (UK). Two of the ones I managed to extract are perfectly round, as if they've been stamped out by machine rather than hand cut. I love them. Has anyone seen anything else like this?</p><p><br /></p><p>A quick google search came up with a similar album where the webpage is no longer available, and a link to the very same album that had previously been listed on eBay. But that's all I could find. So any thoughts are appreciated <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22457[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22458[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22459[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22460[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22461[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22462[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22463[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
