Title: A clean and a date please
Post by: Mr Jules on Wednesday 29 August 12 16:29 BST (UK)
Sorry it's not very high res, I received it from a not massively tech savvy relation. We're not sure which of a number possible relatives this is. It may well have been sent from Italy, which might make things more difficult, but a dating, if possible, would certainly narrow the field. Anything to iron out the creases would also be massively appreciated.

One from me - wasn't sure what the little bloke had his hand on.  It looked like a teapot cosy or maybe some kind of bag but thought perhaps he might like a little cat

Cheers

Not much to date but judging by the textured surface of the print, and the design of the border, I'd say late 60s/early 70s.

Cheers,

Wow guys, thanks for all your hard work, and as always excellent results. I always have a real problem choosing between them. I knew dating might be a bit tricky, but I have narrowed it down as least. Unless anyone else has anything in the pipeline, I'll close this now. Many thanks again. J x
