glass and matting
Item:
A sheet of glass, about the size of a piece of A4 paper, with some pressboard backing material.
Why It’s Here:
Once you’ve torn out the daguerreotype of your great-great-grandmother’s wedding day and used it as rolling paper, you don’t really need the frame anymore.
Probable Recipient:
Somebody who is out of green but has too many dang daguerreotype’s laying around beggin’ for framin’.
Who can spell daguerreotype, anyway?
I had to look it up like three times. And I have no idea how to pronounce it. At some point I’ll be put on the spot and I’ll be stuck either Elmer Fudding it into the ground or just shouting “DOGGERTYPE!!!” and punching someone in the face to change the subject.
