Thank you all very much for the love.
officialfuel,
Thank you for the like.
packrat-place,
Thank you for your comments. I found these at a garage sale in N.J. some years ago while visiting there. I have some others I will list, but these were the best.
I think I will frame them soon, they are not common. Glad you like them.
