Default Antique frame advice

Superb piece, excellent choice to retain it in original condition. Almost as important is the decision on how to frame it. I have framed quite a few of my prewar cards, photos and memorabilia pieces. At first I took them to a professional and had them framed in a currently available frame. They were very nice but somehow didn't ring completely true to me. I decided on trying antique frames for my projects. It makes all the difference as does using TruVue Museum glass (better UV protection, glare free and greater clarity). Posted are before and after pictures of framed T206's. The first is with a modern frame and standard UV glass, the second is with a tiger oak antique frame circa 1900 and Museum glass (I also added a couple of card and rearranged the display). The results speak for themselves. If you want other pictures or more information feel free to contact me directly.
