Cold & Rainy Day In Arizona

I Love Using Loads of Pictures to tell a story!

These were taken on a Rainy Weekend here in Arizona

We decided to go out for a Quick Look at a New (OLD) Thrift shop

That we haven't been to In DECADES!

It's Located on Extention and Main street here in Mesa

I've found My New Place To Treasure Hunt!!!!

I'm so Going to get that Table I've always wanted & for under $10 Chairs and ALL!!!

(I did not get a picture of it)

On our Trip Jr decides his Truck needs a new wiper blade

We just could not take that sound of metal screeching on Glass

Out here, We rarely have the need

To ever use our wiper blades

So the one day it rains, Of course We need a New Blade

Rain drops in Arizona

*** OReilly's SUCK!**
We purchased a $2.99 cheap wiper blade Because It rains Once in Arizona
And the guy charged us $34.00!!!!
I was Like WAIT A MINUTE What kind of Blades are you buying for this POS Truck
He said, the cheap 2.99 single blade...
I looked at the Cashier and said, You Were Kidding Right?

So I Will NOT Be going back there!
THEY SUCK!

I think I may be on to something

Vintage British Horse Guard No. 43 ~ 1st Life ~ C.H Martin ~ Framed Litho Print

What do I know about this print?

The print is a 5x7
The Whole piece is an 8x10 in a Not so nice frame
Perhaps Simple Black Thin Frame.
The print is sealed in this frame, I do not want to remove the backing to find out
if this is a Picture Cut out of an Old Magazine
Or a purchased Litho
There is No Certificate taped to the back
But Again I do NOT know what is under that tape!

Regardless, If there is a hidden 10,000 Bill behind that tape,
I do not buy what I do to win the lottery.
I buy what I do because someone out there Loves to collect such things
And will run across this post and It will make their day!

Officers of the British Guard No. 43
1st Life Guards

The horse is A Sleek Pure Black Beauty
as the Officer sits Proudly saddled
I know there are Forum Groups that
Paint Miniatures of The British 1st Guards

From My understandings, The Original Prints are Either Hand colored
Or Water Colored.

Reprints are published by Connoisseur Publishing Co. 1909
of the original uniform plate published by Spooner 1830-40
 from the series of 70 plates entitled Military & Naval Costumes
by L Mansion and L Eschauzier,
coloured by Martin C Bowen

Reprints on Modern paper can be purchased for as little as $35 unframed
Vintage paper prints are a bit harder to locate
(I'm having a heck of a time)
The paper of this print is yellowing due to age and the matte it's on or in
Is a reddish Tone but also faded.

British Army Vintage litho

Officer British Army, printed by TEFEVRE (?) & Co.

British Horse Guard

British Horse Guard No 43

Water damage British Horse Guard

Small water damage shown in picture

Frame damaged at top Shown in picture

From what I understand, The British Army Horse Officer Pictures
Are Much like the
No. 53 LA MODE ILLUSTREE ~ BUREAUX JOURNAL 
Prints that display the Uniforms of the Officers in the British Army
as the La Mode Illustrations Displayed the fashions of High Society

There were several Horse Guards Documented
Here is a valuable website (Click) that has many Antique Lithos & their Pricings
This site has information on such pieces and opens in a new window.
I will continue to search for information on this print & the history of the man & horse.

~Here is some information on other prints I have found~
