<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mill Cove Treasures, post: 30552, member: 60&quot;]I can&#039;t make out this signature around the base of the tree.&nbsp; In some photographs&nbsp; I can see what looks like letters written in pencil in the lower corner under the tree signature.</p><p><br /></p><p>The frame appears to be older.&nbsp; The painting&nbsp; looks like it was painted on canvas glued to hardboard/Masonite.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hardboard was first used in the early 1920s.&nbsp; Do you think the frame is from that time period or was it recycled.&nbsp; The frame 40&quot; x 31&quot;, painting&nbsp;&nbsp; 30&quot; X 20&quot;.&nbsp; As you can see I haven&#039;t finished cleaning the frame.&nbsp; The dust was so thick, at least 1/8&quot; inch, that I was surprised how bright the gold was when I started cleaning this. Thank you in advance for your help.<img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/Painting%20Signature/Antique%20Tree%20Signature%20painting/P1080926ps1a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/Painting%20Signature/Antique%20Tree%20Signature%20painting/P1080931ps3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/Painting%20Signature/Antique%20Tree%20Signature%20painting/P1080934.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/Painting%20Signature/Antique%20Tree%20Signature%20painting/P1080928ps1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/Painting%20Signature/Antique%20Tree%20Signature%20painting/P1080928ps2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/Painting%20Signature/Antique%20Tree%20Signature%20painting/P1080929.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
