Vintage Moffett [?] signed photograph and frame

The attached photos and frame were purchased at an auction we attended early 2010. The pictures were in backwards so we had no idea there were in pictures in the frame, we bid for the frame. We discovered two Moffett [or Moftett or Mottett] pictures both signed and one had a slight smug in ink and both are on heavy paper stock, they appear to be originals. One is cutout and mounted to a piece of cardboard to fit the frame and the other is complete with top corners clipped to fit frame and the # "7-50806" written in pencil. We have done extensive research trying to find this woman with no luck. If you could please help us. We are also looking for information on the frame as well, it is gold metal or brass frame with black painted? edges where the frame has cutouts, it is fairly heavy, the slide out velvet covered board back with flaired retracting stand-arm. I can not see any makers marking of any kind but I realize this are sometimes in spots one can't really see. If you could please give us any information you can on these two pictures and the frame, it would be so very helpful to us in case we decide to sell them or just to have as general knowledge in case we want to keep them. Thank you in advance for any help you can be to us.
