The postcards which I have published are now nearly run out. I usually only have one in stock of the old and antiquarian - some cards are exceptionally rare: one of the Scottish ones went for £500 in an auction a few years back and the copy in my own collection cost me £300.

Set of 7 full sized RP sepia cards from newly discovered (unfortunately rather grainy) photos taken 1922 or 3 of a Kentish Gypsy identified as Jim ‘Toodley’ Lee making his own ribbed wagon.
