    Very nice pic.We have done a couple threads on this in the past and folks posted the ones they knew about.I thought it would generate a lot more from other countries,but it didn't seem to.Here's a link.

    Nightbreed (and others), the most outstanding thing about Shorpy.com is the resolution of the pictures. Typically, the photos are taken with negatives in the 4x5 inch range. They have many shop front pictures. Many times I've viewed the high resolution picture, blown up a section of the screen, and just like Xmas window shopping, moved back and forth picking out the display items. Amazing resolution!
