Clara Akin-Brown on Apr 26, 2015Do they have a groove around the inside of the frame to maybe hold a mirror?Helpful Reply

PLee on Apr 26, 2015No, no groove. They are completely smooth. The way the wood is put together is almost like a biscuit joint.Helpful Reply

Lanette Hildebrandt on Apr 27, 2015Look like mirror frames for old dressor. They were mounted on top of dressers and could be tilted for better view.Helpful Reply

Roslyn on Apr 27, 2015Maybe they were clamped together to hold fabric tight while doing embroidery or other needlework.Helpful Reply

Maureen Williamson on Apr 28, 2015I "vaguely" remember old chalkboards that used to have a frame kind of like this. I mean, old-time. Also, with the way they have little "wings" on them, maybe they held photos of some kind and you used the wings to flip through them?Helpful Reply

Sheila D on Jun 09, 20151. Do the handles line up when placed one on the other; 2. are the "handles" flat or curved 3. Are there any grooves or ridges on back or inner rims-maybe to insert something as a backing. Wonder if there might have been others to hand or stand like jigsaw puzzle pieces.Maybe and antique dealer might have and idea.. Keep us updated if you find out what they areHelpful Reply

PLee on Jun 10, 2015Finally figured it out. For years Mom used a wicker trunk as a coffee table. She kept a handcrafted tray on top to protect the wicker. What I thought were handles on the tray were slots that these two wooden things fit into. The maker used no nails in making this - that's why they looked so familiar - he used a 'biscuit' to join the pieces.Helpful Reply
