Zebo was a polish for 'blackleading' your range or fireplace. As it's a b & w photo which has been tinted, I would go for George V or VI. People always looked older in those days.

Now, now  :o :o :o

I still have a tube of Zebo. It's marvellous for my woodburning stove - when it gets marked not a daily job, mind  ;D ;D ;D

Perth, what a stern Lady. She wouldn't need to touch you, one look would be enough to put you in fear for your life. But it's still a great photo.
