I have a picture  called Windmill, and on the back it is
stamped Radio Picture Frame Co., Inc. 104 S 4th Street,
Brooklyn, NY.  Does anyone know anything about it or this
company?  It looks like on the print in the bottom right
corner is the name Henfeld....cant tell exactly, but that is
close.

Thanks,
Christi R

I think that I have the same picture.Mine says on the front
left side it's Raining moonbeams.
If you find out anything please let me know.
The adress for the co. is the same as yours 104 so,4th st.

Hi I have an old picture from the same co. but mince is
nembered and is called spring song......can't seem to find
any info. i am 48 and got this out of an old house in
Missouri when i was 14?

My husband has an old pic, also with "Radio Picture Frame Co
Inc, 1540 Covert St, Brooklyn, NY" printed on the back
cover. It is about 10" X12" and is of a beautiful blue-eyed
blond girl, holding her left hand to her forehead as she
gazes upward. Her hair style appears to be from the 40's. 
The photo shows her from the waist up & she is nude.  It is
really quite lovely.
It would be interesting to learn more about this print.
Thanks,   Darlene Pugh, Texas

I also have the 8x10 frame with radio picture frame
co.,inc.1540 covert st. brooklyn, n.y. Right above the stamp
are 2 words stamped , the last one seems to read maple.
interestingly enough it holds a picture of my mother and
grandparents. it looks to come from about 1942-1945.probably
my grandmother removed whatever had been in the frame and
replaced it with the family photo. i'd be curious to know
what had been there.

Well I have two and got them at a thrift store in Miami area.  and we still
don't know what they are.  Let me find out...stay tune...

I was doing some cleaning and took down our Radio Picture. I  found an RKO type
movie poster as a backing or support behind the print. And thought for sure when
I googled it I would find some information also.  I do not have anything to add
except ours came from my husband's grandmother (she was in her mid 80"s in 1998)
and we were told it was her mothers.   Our picture is called "Covered with Snow"
and it too is numbered. The frame appears to be wooden and has some small
carvings at each corner and is silverish.   I hope Diego can find out some more
info.  
Thanks....

Hi I just boght a print today at a yard sale too that says the same thing on the
back.  This is a large print of a Victoryian Dance in a beautiful Room with the
ladies all in beautiful different colored dresses and the men in their suits or
military dress.It also says Radio Frame Co but has a address of Brooklyn 27, Ny.
 That should date it to the 50's before the zip codes came out. If anyone know
anything please contact me.  Thanks,

Picture with Indian riding a horse.  Anybody know anything about this?

When going through our parents' items we removed a certificate from a frame and
behind it was a picture of a clipper ship sailing through the ocean. On the back
was "Marine Subjects", Radio Picture Frame o., Inc. 104 So. 4th St., Brooklyn,
N.Y.  We believe it belonged to our Mother's father. 

Not sure what to do with it...

I also have two pictures with RADIO PICTURE FRAME CO.INC, 1540 COVERT ST.,
BROOKLYN,NY.  Mine are funny "baby" pictures.  One in blue and one in pink. 
They are prints of a sleeping baby and someone has made a satin pillow and
knitted a sweater/booties and made a satin diaper. They are quite precious. 
Anyone else have the same?  I used to have them hanging in my room as a very
young girl - and now I am over 70 - so they are quite old.
