I had posted pic #3 last week & PhilDavidAlexanderMorris took it upon himself to restore it, I was so impressed that I asked him if he could do anything with pic # 2. It is a picture of my Grandmother as a teenager, it measured 1.5" X 2" & was torn in half and bent.
David'd work is fantastic, it was such a kind gesture. I hope everyone enjoys these as much as I do.
Thanks again David
