Hi-
Last night, I slowly worked my way through the frame starting with unwinding the metal wire and removing the screws. I then used a small knife to carefully remove the back paper. I realized the item at least one more layer away, so I carefully removed the nails from the sides of the frame. Finally I tapped the frame, and the item finally came out (with a paper backing). I could never have guessed what would be on the back of this. I thought maybe a 50s/60s print notice (and of course was hoping for much earlier). I had little thought it would be this. I have to say, I definitely got 15.00 in entertainment value (what I paid for it) from the last few years of speculating what might be inside. Now I know. I only wish the results were different! Alan

Thanks guys! I appreciate the commiseration. Dan, I believe the original intention was to deceive but I am not sure when that occurred. I know the dealer I got it from, and her price tag was 17.00 (she gave it to me for 15). She normally deals with scrapbooks and other paper items, and they are almost all early (usually the newest items on her table are from the 1940s). So, I am guessing the deception happened at least two sales ago as she must have purchased it for 10.00 or less (probably less). Most likely she got it in a box lot at auction as that is where most of her material comes from. I wonder who originally did it and how much they sold it for? I threw all of the materials away so there will be no recurrences of fraud with this item at least.
Alan
