You'll find this lady for sale at 'Allo Robert' in Menton. I didn't ask the price.

ReplyDeleteI was in a teensy, woegegone shop in Chitern in NE Victoria a couple of weeks ago, and in the window was a box of Hornby model train stuff. I am sure you know of it.

Wow, what a great great photo. I saw it on my phone first & thought it was a poster for some kind of Golden Years of Hollywood film!
