but very stable and sound

There is one patch of a bit of loss along an outside edge of the bone on one side

and how the cover of her magazine reads like an abstract painting

Someone certainly put a lot of effort into it

I found these at an estate sale loaded to the gills with a lifetime's accumulation of all manner of things

Arthur H. Harris, Frame Maker, Ithaca, NY, C. Early 20th C. Salesman Sample Frame engraved brush but very stable and soundA fun one the unbreakability of which I have not tested, but it's definitely sturdy! I haven't turned up anything definitive about an Arthur M. Harris who was a frame maker, though I did find an Arthur M. Harris of Elmira, NY, 18501916, which could be right. A terrific folk art frame, whatever the case, now a mellowed gold, with Harris' excellent hand lettered salesman's pitch still inside. 10 3 4" x 8 1 4" and in excellent condition. Film (original)
