    Very possibly the 1950s when silhouettes were popular (again.) Frames appear to be from that period.

    That's what I was thinking too. Pretty sweet, and for two bucks it's hard to miss!

    Thanks, what i thought was cool is that they are not laid flat on the backing. they are raised between the glass and backing.
