T205 and T206 were issued between 1900 and 1915? Is that the extent of the knowledge back then?

Don't know but the T205s were priced at 50% more than T206s. Some things do change.

and I will add this Beatles Concert Poster found in the same box of stuff. Can you imagine seeing them....and for free!! It is approximately 8 1/2 x 12.

"Beatles for Free"

Yeah, but who wants to sit through Derry and The Seniors!?

I just spoke to a gentleman who does Beatles Posters like I do type cards . He says there is a 98-99% chance it's not a real poster....Time will tell....and I am out nothing if it isn't. But if it were real I have a feeling it could be somewhat valuable...

Leon- if that poster is real, it's worth a ton. My guess is it's a reprint.

Edited to add it wasn't free. It was two shillings sixpence by 8:00 PM, or three shillings after 8:00. Still pretty cool to have been able to see them so early in their career, at a time when they were known almost only to their local fans.

Faron played rhythm guitar for Johnny Tempest.

After Tempest died, he went on to form Faron's Flamingos.

Watch them live at the Cavern in Liverpool.

Faron was known as "the panda footed prince of prance".
