Hi Bob So do you think I will not destroy a fortune when I open the frames and them and the nice passepartouts for my own photos? I paid nearly nothing for them, maybe 1 dollar for one in a bundle with other things. But as the most expensive photo in the world has proved lately, you never know what you really have in your hands with such old items ;-)
