Taylor'tastic daybills, not overly fazzed that Tin Roof and Butterfield are '66 re-releases, but I like finding bills where she starred alongside her many husbands, I'm still not overly sure why Richard felt the need to go back for seconds!

(Quote) Thanks, it was quite a shock to find these and to be honest I almost walked right past the roll.

The bulk of last weeks finds came from one source, however a number of these I found bound with string at the back of an old junk shop, tied in with various theat…A gap filler until I can take a better photograph.
(Quote) Thanks for the info, once I've resolved the camera issue I'll be able to take a better image for your thread.
i was certainly happy to find a few of these in the pile, my better half is a GP, so the Doctor in Distress will look…My camera phones now playing up and I can't seem to get it off of square mode, so in the mean time it's over to close up cropped singles, apologies for incomplete images.in January 2017 Comment by Wil January 2017
