Condition Report

the 'Crutchy Billy' picture has a small tear to the top right corner(see penultimate image)
Jimmy Strength has some black paint loss to his body. The frame appears to have originally been black. It has been taped around the outer edge to keep the frame together and then painted gold.
The frame on Crutchy Billy appears more original
Both are very original but with discoloration to the backing paper as to be expected
