    Had a far day at the Car Boot this morning picked up a

    Next Coat for my eldest boy, perfect to put back for school,
    A Childs Laptray, looks nearly new
    Ben 10 Figure
    TMNT Turtle
    A Next Starwars Dressing Gown again for my eldest
    and a PE bag with Power Rangers on it perfect for when my youngest starts school in September. All for £4.

    Then just as I was leaving I picked up a new unopened pot of goldfish food for 50p pricemarked as £1.80.

    Pleased with my bargains but I have done a lot better in previous occasions and all these items were obtained on just two tables.

    My dd give me a picture that she was given of some old lady to put in the charity skip, when I got it home it has a date on of 1939?(thereabouts) how do i find out if it is a print or painting, know nothing about pictures or how to tell anything about them.
    Dont want to charity it if it may be worth something.

    Look under a magnifying glass. If you can see lots of little dots its a print, if you can see brush strokes or pencil/ink strokes you have an original
