I buy Vintage Frames from Estate Sales : I look specifically for older frames that fit the pictures I sell, each frame compliments the picture and matches the theme of the photo, as you know some of the older frames were made from steel , hand crafted, hand made, and a lot of quality was put into those frames in the 1900s thru the the 1980s, I like to match each time era with their matching frame year, so what your getting is an authentic time piece. There may be a scuff or scratch here and there on the frame , but I promise its what makes the frame so appealing as some of my frames date back to 1922 to 1996. I look for unique and hard to find frames that are different from other frames.
