I may do that sometime over the summer. The UV blocking glass is a bit expensive, so I don't always frame the nice stuff. since they're roughly 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 (very roughly, andthe last one is a bit wider then the others) I'm not sure how they would look framed. I'll probably mock up the display first to see if it works.
I do nearly all my own framing. I've seen very mixed results from "pro" framers on stuff my family has had done. Everything from wonderful restoration work using actual old glass to one that wrecked a poster by trying to dry mount it to a mat board, getting it wrinkled and stuck down still wrinkled then attempting to remove it. It was a modern poster, but from a museum show and out of print. The resto shop still gets some business, plus I sold them a bunch of old glass I got. I think the other shop is long out of business.
