Outstanding Civil War Era Handmade Copper Picture Frame Grant Family

  

This is a very interesting old handmade picture frame. Engraved on back by who I would assume is the person who made it "SG" in 1871. This frame was a gift from the Grant Family to another local family in 1898. (Included a small note from a family member stating this).

The Frame is made of textured copper with rolled edge decoration. Crossed sabres above a small photo window, and U. Frame has a foldout back stand.

Measures 2 1/4" tall and 2 1/4" wide. This is a very cool old piece, and nice to have a touch of provenance with it!
