Art Deco Dura Photo Frames
Image by Artdecodude
Here is a trio of very rare Machine Age photo frames made by The Dura Company of Toledo, Ohio. These picture frames were part of a giftware line that Dura did during the 1930's, and they look amazing when displayed with period, movie star photos. Industrial designer Helen Dryden was the art director of the company at one point in time. More information about The Dura Company can be found on my friend and neighbor's website here:
plasticliving.com/dura/d.html
The bases of the frames are made of bakelite, and the bases of both the circular frame and larger frame with the teardrop base have a streamline design. The frame on the right is super rare (this is the only one I've ever seen), and its metal and bakelite base has more of an Egyptian Revival or sunrise deco motif to it.
I have seen the bakelite bases in a few different colors, but black is the most common. The metal frames are made out of "Dura Metal," an alloy similar to chrome.

Here's an earlier photo of this building I used as a painting subject: www.flickr.com/photos/catchesthelight/3217429541/ I guess I haven't uploaded the painting here to flickr so this is the address at my website: www.catchesthelight.com/ldm_p.html
