<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 442696, member: 37"]Nice frame but I don't see any reason to believe this is anything too great. 50s or later seems right but the thin linen liner makes me think more 60s-70s than 50s. Tended to be a bit wider in the 50s. I also would leave it alone as I don't see anything too objectionable with the finish. Refinished frames generally look refinished since the process used to finish them originally can seldom be replicated. </p><p><br /></p><p>As to your question about value, there are several variables. Where and how selling, foremost. It is an odd size, which hurts value. Consequently, the value is in its utility. If you can use this size, the price you paid is worth it. As for me, I probably would not have paid more than a few dollars for it. I pick up frames all the time in hopes I can use them down the road, only paying a premium for standard sizes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
