  • Condition: I bought this at an auction in Toledo. It looks like a refugee from the local antique mall. I am offering it just as I found it, stickers and all. The black wood frame is a little chipped at the edges but is solid. The glass is solid, not cracked. The letter and the newspaper clipping look like they are in good condition, judging from the view through the glass. The backing matt does look discolored. On the back of the frame is a plastic sheet holder showing a copy of the Senator's bio from the U.S. Congress. The sawtooth hanger looks like it is ready to use. There is a bent paperclip on it. Thank you.
