Posting another for you wonderful restorers to have a go.
I have plenty of these, I would like to restore most of them over time, so i will post one every now and then.
You all do such beautiful work.

Feel free to restore and colour  :D

Nice job guys :)

thanks very much :)

The file is actually a lot larger, i had to sacrifice some quality to get it under 500k to upload.

But looking very good.
Thanks again Morrie and Carolyn.
