Post by: cathyg on August 05, 2007, 06:47:05 PM

hi everyone, probably gonna drive you all mad, but been sorting out more boxes today and came across this.  it is signed but i dont what it says, first letter of first name is definitely K and second line is i think T, it is back with a silver sort of sheen underneath in some places, have taken pics of both sides, thanks everyone, Cathy

hi everyone, in the absence of baby powder i used cornflour, (I'm on grand-children now) hope this is a clear pic, i dont know your real name (tigerchips) but i think you may be right i think it says Knights Tintagel, my hubby said "knighty something or other" before i posted it.  if it is is it colectable anyone cos i,ve never heard of it, thanks Cathy
