I MADE A FIND!!
Well, one worth talking about anyway. Two Sundays ago I was doing my weekly walk through of a little antique shop that is on the way home from this house my son plays D&D at on the weekends, and lo and behold in a dark corner, about 6 feet off the ground and partially obscured by a crappy plastic doll house from the 1980's I see this!

Carefully removing it from the wall and looking at the back I see the price, $2.00! Definitely in my price-range!
The downside, this thing it Filthy! If i had to guess I would say it must have been thumb-tacked to a wall in a dusty warehouse while people sat in a half circle around it chainsmoking for 40 years.

So, I really want to get it cleaned up and re-framed in something that will protect it, and that doesn't look like it came off a clearance rack from Woolworth's circa 1978. If anyone has any helpful information, advice, thoughts, suggestions of things Not to do, that would be Greatly appreciated!

This-un's a keeper!
