<p>[QUOTE="Lark, post: 9546696, member: 13605"]When my mother sold antiques ,she found wonderful color prints in magazines of cars from the 20's and 30's. Tailor books had fantastic pages of 1920's fashions for both men and women not to mention all of the cream of wheat ads. She had tons of them framed using old frames as well as new. Same problem as mention by komokwa. They didn't sell because the frame was not quite right for their decor I have stacks of these pictures. I sell a few here and there at my garage sales but I am pretty sure i am barely recouping her cost of the framing. I do keep some since I do my own art work and I may nee the mat or the frame. Before shipping got high, I sold some on Ebay encased in egg cartons. But i don't even try any more. The packages we get are so beat up these days , I can't imagine a framed pic making it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
