Vintage METAL Photo Frame - NOS, Unused, Original Price Tag, 5x4
$19.99
DESCRIPTION
This is genuinely unused, new old stock, the kind of frame that sat on a shelf in a store, priced at fifty-nine cents, and never sold. Still has the original oval price tag glued to the mat.
Ornate border with engraved floral detail. Cream or ivory mat backing. Hinged easel back for tabletop display. The brass is bright, the mat is clean, and the whole thing feels like finding a 1950s-era frame that somehow skipped six decades of use.
It's the object collectors hunt for: a time capsule of what things cost, how they were made, and what got left behind in a cardboard box.
What you're getting:
- 1 vintage metal photo frame
- Condition: Unused, new old stock (NOS)
- Dimensions: 5 inches (H) × 4 inches (W) outside / 3½" × 5⅝" mat opening
- Materials: Brass or brass-plated metal frame; cream/ivory mat
- Easel back: Yes, hinged, functional
- Original price tag: Yes, still attached
- Era: Vintage, circa 1950s-1960s (based on price and style)
The right piece for you:
You'll want this if you collect vintage frames, collect items with original price tags and deadstock appeal, or simply appreciate the fact that something so beautiful and functional was once worth fifty-nine cents.
It's a frame that never had a photograph in it, never traveled, never wore out. It's pristine in a way vintage items almost never are.
