Hi everyone, I have been really busy. I went to an estate sale today unexpectedly. I bought this photo in the frame. I paid $39. for it.

This always happens with cell phone photos.

Can`t see it well but looks like 1920`s or so !~!  Some were faux tortoise shell with the little floral highlights !!

I thought it was a pretty good buy. People had bought most of the paintings. The house had been unoccupied for 20 years. It smelled it too. Expensive house , so sad.

These were famous in 1920's to 30's.

Have one almost identical with my mom's photo as a baby. The frames are okay but if yous has the curved glass that is the most valuable part of the piece.

You paid going price in my area for one in a frame but if there is someone wanting to replace the glass in a like frame they will honestly pay more for the glass for their frame up to $80!

Yes it has the glass. I have seen them on eBay for about that price. Hard to sell unless pickup. Too fragile.
