Arthur H. Harris, Frame Maker, Ithaca, NY, C. Early 20th C. Salesman Sample Frame engraved brush but very stable and soundA fun one the unbreakability of which I have not tested, but it's definitely sturdy! I haven't turned up anything definitive about an Arthur M. Harris who was a frame maker, though I did find an Arthur M. Harris of Elmira, NY, 18501916, which could be right. A terrific folk art frame, whatever the case, now a mellowed gold, with Harris' excellent hand lettered salesman's pitch still inside. 10 3 4" x 8 1 4" and in excellent condition. Film (original)
