Re: Antique Shadow Box Wooden Picture Frames
These are not really shadow boxes, shadow boxes are deeper, like a thin display cabinet. Your pictures are too small to reveal much detail regarding their construction. That said most like this date from around World War One (1914-18). No huge value for them currently, the market last peaked for frames like this back in the late 1980's At auction the pair might go for $50.00.
