"Here is an Excellent Way to Clean Gold Frames - Shave half of a small cake of Ivory Soap into a pint of water and boil for 5 minutes. When cool, apply this jelly with a very soft brush or sponge. Then, with a clean soft brush or sponge, apply cold, clear water and let it dry immediately in a warm place."
This piece will fit into a 14 x 18 frame and comes protected in a plastic sleeve. It is an original advertisement and not a reproduction.
