Item Description
3" deep by 15x22.5" black wood "box" with glass cover holds thick and ornate gold frame surrounding high quality color portraits. Inner frame has raised text "Sapolin" while image areas at center have simulated brass plaque reading "This Frame Is Gilded With Sapolin Gold Enamel/Mfgd. By Gerstendorfer Bros., N.Y., U.S.A." Gold frame is brilliant with just four narrow slivers of gold off far left edge very minor. Black box has small rubs on narrow front edges, easily restored. Top right 3" section of narrow black box edge cracked free but is neatly re-glued and hairline break shows little. Likely c. 1904-1908. Inner frame is N. Mint and image area displays Mint as made. First we've seen.
