This is the only photo of the inside of my grandfathers auto parts store in Bristol, CT taken around 1929. Sadly, the depression drove him out of business.

Yes, that's him. I do have a bunch of the blotters. I don't have any idea what they are worth though?

If you download the photo, you can see it in more detail. Not sure why it doesn't show up full size in the post.
