That's a beautiful old photograph you have there "H" :o I might recommend emailing this photo to Bruce Shackelford, he is an expert an Native American items. Though I feel that the frame and wavy glass certainly have some decent value on their own :notworthy:

HE SAID IT WOULD LIKLY BE WORTH LESS THAN THE APRASEL. TO MUCH DAMAGE.
 
Hang onto it, hmmm, and eventually someone may express an interest in it. It's too bad there's not some sort of marking that you could research, that would enhance the value. It's a nice piece regardless. Just one question, for the life of me I can not see anything that indicates that this is a young Native American girl. Did I miss somethin in there?

Well, at least now you know. I still think that the frame and the wavy glass have a retail value of $100+. This of course depends on the condition of the frame and the amount of restoration needed to make it saleable. Personally, I've restored a lot of these old frames and it isn't that difficult.

Thanks for letting me know what Bruce said.
