| An 1880s Trade Card for Joseph Hoover of Philadelphia who advertises that he sells Photographs and Picture Frames. Trade Cards, a popular advertising form, were given out by merchants in hopes that the customer would retain the card and think of them when they needed to order picture frames. I've collected the few Trade Cards found that mention that the merchant sold picture frames. I've found less than 5 of these over the years. It is 2 7/8 x 4 1/4 inches. #24-367, $18.00 | |

| An early, beautiful and rare, American, mahogany, ripple frame. It is from 1816 and is marked so on the rear plank of wood, backing the image. The folk art image of a rooster appears to be a hand-painted original. I was thrilled and amazed when I unframed it and found a young girl's multiplication tables (below) with her name and date. I was drawn to the frame, since it is incredibly rare and early (I was figuring about 1820). I was going to separate the image and frame, but as both supported the date of each other, I felt that they should be together. It is 7 x 9 inches od. and has a 6 x 8 inch pic. size. #17-514, $420.00 |
