I wanted to reframe a couple of vintage maps

They are probably decorative. I've had them a long time. The frames they are in are in poor shape, so I thought I'd see if I had other frames the same size. I had a couple of aerial photos in nice frames, and they were the right size. The photos had stuck to their glass, and I had never tried to remove them. I went ahead and took them out today, and to my surprise and delight, someone had used hand-lettered signs, one advertising a 12" pizza for 1.25, and the other 1/2 dozen fresh cherrystone clams for .90 cents. Beautiful condition! I gifted the clam sign to one daughter, offering the pizza sign to the other. Made my day, and all I can say is, be sure to look past the surface

I wanted to post pics on Imgur, but their facebook log in isn't working. I tried another way and gave up.
