Could I carefully take the backs off of these to see if there's any info under them??

The newspaper on the two silhouettes is dated in the late 1800s but I sure am curious about them..

    The two silhouettes look like some other things we have seen here - small portraits in generic "old" looking frames, with newspaper backings made to look old. I'll see if I can find the earlier posts......

    The pictures in the porcelain frame look like prints. The silhouettes were made in a factory and that paper printed to put on backs. They were sold in department stores. I doubt there's anything in there.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I think some of the discussions were in threads about the frames that have what look like piano keys around them...

    There's no tape to cut on three little silhouette ones. I'm gonna leave those alone.
