Hi John - have just checked my Pbase website for the first time in months and saw your message. If its not too late now then please use the two Pearly shots for your article. Good luck with the project.

Hello Harry ... I'm doing an article about the Birmingham Pearlers (30,000 in 1900) who made the buttons for the Pearly Kings and Queens. The article is for Birmingham Medical School magazine. The last Master Pearler is still working in Smethwick (Birmingham) He's George Pope, and the last of four generations .... all Pearlers! Please may I use some of you photos to illustrate the mag?
