<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chantelle, post: 63227, member: 680&quot;]I know it is really hard to see from the photos that I have provided. The frames are actually both different. When I bought them I thought the same thing but they both have slightly differnt carvings around the boarders of the wood. Also at first glance I thought the matting boarder was the same as well but it to is slightly differnt. It&#039;s driving me crazy to try to understand here how for one they look so closely framed and bordered but his frame definatly has more detailing to his on the edges of the frame it has detail where as here is flat. And hers has more detail in the face of the frame , her frame was also stained&nbsp; a little darker. As well the boarder mat around the photos appear to be the same colours but differnt designs again. On the backs hers looks way older for sure hers is still sealed and looks as though it was never taken out and his has be&nbsp; taken out even before I took it out . Hers it 9 1/2 x 11 1/4 inches . And he measures in at 11 1/2 x15 inches . I have also looked for a connection between these two and haven&#039;t seemed to be able to come up with anything. Her family tree is posted on the interenet but he is not in it. I haven&#039;t been able to find him with lack of information on him but that doesn&#039;t mean I will not keep trying with my spare time. Only a name and a common one at that makes it tough . Her family came from Ireland and they don&#039;t have much record on marriage and etc because the building burnt down that held all the documents. </p><p>So as far as questions. With the frames being differnt , is it differnt enough to separate them that many years of being framed? Second would these frames have been hand made back then by the same person 20-30 years later ? The mat boarder being its so closely to the same did that change much threw time with colours design etc or do you think that they were framed at the same time ? And then is there any demand for photos of this age or people you don&#039;t know ? Or are the frames worth more then the photos with them in them ? I have heard that from different people? And if you are able to can you put a approximate value on these , I know it always depends on who they are but say they are just people with no siignificant history .... I&#039;m not even sure you can ask that on this forum .... </p><p>Anyways I would like to thank everyone who has helped me untwist this mystery. What a awesome place for everyone to come together to help another mate out eagerly awaiting your replys ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
