Nostalgic!! Looks a little bit older than the model Collectors Cases produced the triple double mitres for over 300,000 glass cases. Any framer thinking of turning their hand to glass covers and picture frame cases would be well equipped with this equipment.

Bonded Glass Covers with wood capping.
Carcase Cases.
Semi Carcase Cases and modern updates of the Roland Ward method.
and 'framers' improvements on acrylic covers.

Just a few ideas to add to your list of uses
