    Inherited this print/picture of a family member. Comes in this old frame. Can any five me an idea of the age of this frame? There is a triangle shape support? in each corner on the back under the paper.

    Would you post a photograph of the card that is affixed to back?

    And what about a close-up of the other helpful information on the back which appears to be a framer's sticker?

    I could be completely wrong (not an uncommon) but those spots make me think it is not very old plus it looks like gold paint, not gold leaf.

    Thanks Debora. Wondering if this frame is 1970's.

    The sticker appears to date from around that time or a tad later.
