The image you see below was one of a series of five lantern 
slides sold on E-bay in March 2001.

It was in the USA and in those days I was unsure about bidding 
overseas. Now I am kicking myself.

It is a picture of a suit of armour used unsuccessfully in an American
bank robbery around 1920 or 1930.

The seller commented that these robbers were 'Ned Kelly' copycats,
looks like he was right.
