Unframing Items
Posted: Wed 28 Mar, 2018 12:52 pm
Hello All,
This is a somewhat odd question to send to this list, but I'm at my whits end on how to unframe something. I work in an archives, and we have several photographs and certificates that we acquired in a collection from Lee's Art Shop Inc. in New York which closed in 2016. The photographs and certificates are turning yellow, and we want to remove them from the frames and store them in our climate controlled vault. The items have a star shaped screw (Please see attached photo). Does anyone know where I can find a screw driver that can remove these? Or is there another trick to remove brackets from the frame without damaging the object?
Thank you for your assistance,
Mike
