I got a couple of framed charcoal drawings from my grandparents estate, both
were drawn by my grandpa.  The back of the cardboard backing was from the Radio
Picture frame Co.  The real interesting thing is what's on the front of the
cardboard backing.  They are old movie posters.  One was from a 1935 film, "The
Raven" starring Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi.  The other was from a 1928 film
"Revenge" starring Delores Del Rio, the first major Mexican film star in the US.
 Hard telling where they got the frames, as they were simple Mennonite farmers
who lived in central Kansas their whole lives.
