I AM LISTING MORE ITEMS FROM THIS FIRM TODAY INCLUDING A BATCH OF WALLPAPER SAMPLES.

I am listing 12 items sent to Foster & Co today, from a huge accumulation dating from around 1880 to 1930 - I don't think they ever threw anything away!

The scanner picks up variations in colour of the item, which are not apparent to the naked eye - the colour is fairly even all over, not as seen on the scan, which also exaggerates all the fold, creases and bends.

SPRING CLEARANCE SALE, MUST SHIFT STOCK,  HENCE LOW LOW STARTING PRICES.

If buying anything else, or items to be sent to abroad - please wait for my invoice. I cannot be more specific as I sell so many items at different weights and sizes.
