Admiral Riverboat Miniature and Postcard

We recently went to a huge out of town car show -  and hubby bought river related mementos at a cool old record store/ shop. It's my sons favorite store to spend time in while at the car show. Each time we go in ( two or three times over the weekend ), we see something new.

I used restraint and didn't buy the two old Breyer model horses I really wanted, but didn't think I had room for. Hubby couldn't resist the Admiral set, no room for that either, but I managed to clear out a space on the bookshelf for the time being. I just happened to have a small frame nearly the correct size to put the postcard in.  I plan to move them to the hall with the other two river related prints I matted and framed hanging on the wall that I painted.

Here are the two prints I personally matted and framed that are hanging in the hall:

I worked for a frame shop many years ago. 

I ordered this huge Michael Blaser print then matted and framed it. 

It is titled "The Moonlight Above Memphis".

Funny tidbit about this particular print: it is a signed numbered print,

I didn't get to choose the number.

The random number that was sent to me was #396 - 

this happens to be a Chevy engine size and we are a Ford family !

Old print (reproduction) of the Eads bridge in St. Louis. 

In 1970 the print was given to employees of a quarry that an uncle of mine worked at. 

He gave the print to my parents as a gift. They passed it down to me a dozen years ago. 

I matted and framed it, hung it on the wall opposite the Michael Blaser print. 

Yes, I know it is not centered. I tried my best with what I have at home,

with no professional tools of the trade.   I'll redo it one day.......
