Hi Gerard

Thanks for the link. Color photos from that era are pretty rare, and the usual monochromatic films were red-blind, which made things a bit deeptive.

That 12th photo does, indeed, include what looks like a Tekke juval with Salor guls. These were woven for export in very large numbers around 1900-1925.

Regards

Steve Price
