  Isn't it great to see the old symbols of trade, the Pawnbrokers three globes, the barbers red and white pole etc. Simple and effective advertising though everybody could see you when you went in to pawn the Sunday suit:-))

  The sky detail is usually removed from these pictures to allow them to be used as postcards, but the quality of work in this picture is very poor. Chect out around the bell tower and along the roofline.

  Curtis the pawnbroker and his shop are mentioned in the Freeman's (March 2 1894) report of The Meath Murder trial (Warning: contains the word 'bosom')

  James Curtis, pawnbroker, Drogheda, deposed that the shirt (produced) was pawned in his establishment by a man who gave the name of Gallagher. He believed the prisoner was the man.
