    It looks like his wife is also in the back row: "Mrs. E.S. Sears, Swansea." Caveat emptor! (Maybe that's why the lady to Mrs. Sears' right/our left has such a dour expression: "Curses! Foiled again!"

    Kind regards,

    George

    Kennedy didn't wear a hat, and that was the end of hats in this country.

    Kind of like royalty of old setting the styles....

    If they are buying truly rare coins. If you are filling Whitman folders they will not even look in your direction, unless you have something else going for you. Regardless of gender it is all about $, and more is better. The tomato you get depends on the lettuce you have.
