Is the fact that the chap on the right has no collar and tie an indication as to date?  Also some of the ties are quite wide - more generous than I would have thought likely in the 1930s/40s?

My first thought was that it might be a sauce bottle - something like Yorkshire Relish or Lea & Perrins Worcester sauce perhaps?

p.s. second thoughts, maybe it's a beer?  Perhaps brewed for the coronation or some special event?

evie - I will try for the notices as well, but don't hold out much hope on them!

Heather - any ideas of the indicated date from the no collar and tie or the wide ties?  My guess at the year was purely that!

I'm no dating expert but it's almost like the 1970s with someone wearing just a sweater and jacket and also what looks like a novelty tie with a design on it rather than the normal stripes or spots.

Perhaps if you put a link to this thread on the Deciphering and Recognition board then some of the expert daters will be able to help.   :)

p.s. or maybe the Photo Restoration and Dating board would be better  ;D

If your scanner has a tick box that's says "Display Scanner Driver" then tick this box and you should get a display with finer settings and get to choose the Dpi and also scan with the marching ants around the bottle with the dpi at 600 also do this for the window notice.
