Hi tom... yes thats the one....any ideas on finding out if its worth anything
i might even have it framed and keep it but its huge...maybe i can cut it down abit...what do you think cratch: jacs

I've seen signed Cuneo prints selling for that kind of money; £225 doesn't seem unreasonable ( http://www.prorail.co.uk/auctions/solent/sol0303c.htm quotes £140, albeit a few years ago). If it's unsigned, take the money and run! Unsigned prints can be bought (depending on size, condition, framing etc) for anything from a fiver upwards.

hi Denis...thanx for info.... it is signed and apparently from 1949... think i will give him a e-mail tomoro.....he says it will cost him£200 plus to do it up and then it will be worth £500....£600.....thanx jacs

Hold your horses!

If he's that desperate it could be worth a heck of a lot more ....... and never cut it!!!

Speak to a Railway Auction House first such as www.gerauctions.com

Great Central Railwayana Ltd

You could always put a reserve at the price he's offered and publicity in their catalogue would ensure many Cuneo fans would get to see it. If Matey still wants it he can bid against the rest.

do we have a convert??

 

[jacquelinefoster@tiscali.]

maybe not quite a convert...but def found it a far more interesting subject, than i would ever have thought it could be.. i have even done research on the poster myself...and believe me with my knowledge of the internet ...that is amazing, but i found some of the train/railway site more than interesting
so thanx again lads from your nearly converted pal..xx:cheers: :cheers:

 

[mbonwick]

Full convert I would say (just look at where you were before......)
