Default Lets see your Fan / Rooter postcards ect...

Here we have Harry Thobe the bricklayer circa 1928. Harry was the Reds biggest rooter from the early 1900's until his death in 1950.

Chris, Rob and Leon,
Thanks for posting your fan postcards. I've been collecting for more than half a century and have never seen such fascinating images. They are priceless!
