Anyone want to have a guess at the date on this one?
I have a feeling it would be 40's as well, but it could also be quite earlier

I would say this was 1920s.

I agree with the 1940s and 1920s dates.

I agree with Carol. An after the War baby.

Practising with paint.net tools I've not used much before.  That last one I thought I would try to compose the final pic from 3 layers.  Firstly I repaired the original and Saved it.  From it I made a strongly contrasted one and increased the level of blackness and used that as the bottom layer with the original set to semi transparent and then layer 3 with my dolly mixture colours ... it all looked good until I flattened it to change it from paint.net's format of pdn to png for uploading and it all went odd.   Back to the drawing board  ..  strangely, before I tried it I did one of myself from 1973 and it looked like a film star, but of course as I'm still alive I can't post it, so could you just take my word for it?

Ian, you make it sound so complicated.  ;D ;D
Here is my try done with just a clone tool, no layers etc.

I offered to make pancakes for my 8 year old grandson.  Self-raising flour, spoonful of cornflour, dash of milk, olive oil, pinch of baking powder, dod of butter and a few grains of sugar, one egg and high speed whisking, into a buttered frying pan.  With grated cheese, syrup and jam ready to load on to the finished article I asked him if they were the best he had ever tasted.  He said no. His mum's were better. I asked," Does she use Auntie Bessie's Readymix ?"  No, she just buys them from Morrison's.
I don't make Pancakes any more, and I won't be doing a Layer Cake of Repaired pix either, cheers
