Looks like a moulding from the 70's, or the 80's. I'm not going to guess who made it, but there's always a chance that some one might have some of it tucked away in a corner somewhere. Therefore, it's worth asking what the back / outside edge looks like? It's surprising what some one might still have tucked away somewhere.

I thought so too, but that sort of moulding was all the rage then, so most suppliers did something along the same lines. When I bought a lot of left over stock when starting off, I ended up with loads of moulding fairly similar to that, plus some pinks from the Y-range which some will remember.

The Y-range was a different shape, but pink was very popular then, particularly with some many customers buying prints by artists like Sarah Moon as pinks and mauves were in at that time. I can't give frames away using pink mouldings these days.
