After I shot the first piccy in this sequence I immediately thought that Tony Stark and Awards Ceremonies were not a good combo.....

(Yeah, I pinched a bit of Ned Kelly's colourful vernacular for some of that dummy spit...)

And the Hugos? They were alright on the night.

4 are from IL
This is from a city I can not even find in IL starting with Afl and I can not make out the rest of the letters due to the kind of writing on it I have searched and we don’t have a city in IL starting with Afl nor is there a date on this and the only writing on the back is sterling and 3 little symbols one of a lion in a octagon and one of a anchor in a square and the other looks to be a G in a octagon.

This one is from Bloomington no date on it either it has several different things on it about IL and it is stamped sterling it also has 3 little symbols on it one is a crown one looks like an 8 on its side and the other looks like a cornucopia with legs.
