This item is a curious piece. i have contacted on other person who has a similar item through the internet. She has also found out little regarding it's value. I would like to know it's value and origins. I have contacted a museum with no response as yet.
This picture frame was given to my Grandmother 45 years ago by a lady she used to nurse. The frame was at least 50 years old at that time. It is hand made. The backing board is solid wood and you can see the huge saw marks in the wood itself. The picture in the frame has a date of 1909 written on the back.
It is a painting of a tea kettle, eggs on a platter and an egg by a cup. There is a signature but I cant read it. On the back of the painting I found some paper with the words Windsor and Illnois Mldg Co. But when I look them up they are like gone. Only other people looking for them. It is an old painting in an old fashioned setting.
This is a black metal antique auto trunk (possibly from the 1930s) with 2 latches, a center lock and 2 leather handles on the sides. The front opens down but the top does not open. I have and can send photos by email but I have not been able to attach them to this entry.
