AFP Chicago 8x10 Gold Tone Metal Photo Frame Beaded Edge
$24.00
This vintage AFP Chicago 8 x 10 gold-tone metal photo frame has a narrow beaded border, clear glass, its original paper insert, and an easel back for tabletop display.
I like this one because it still looks much as it would have on the store shelf. The original red and cream AFP Chicago insert remains behind the glass, and the small Kmart $1.17 price sticker is still attached.
The slim gold-tone profile works well with family photographs, wedding portraits, or a collected group of older frames without taking up much visual space.
