Recognize this frame sticker?

[The Wavy Framer]

Do any grumblers recognize this frame sticker? My customer purchased this frame as is from a garage sale. I am just curious as to where this frame shop is located. I Googled it, but did not find any info.

When I googled it it came up with a furniture store (chain) in Tenn. Seems likely.

Framed by George Guthries in the Gainsburro store. He was a one eyed framer hired as Christmas help back in 1991. Had a bad habit of always putting the sticker on just a little crooked.

OK, next story . . .

Had to go check what I call my "scalp" wall. This consists of all stickers taken off jobs coming in for a fix, redux or just a general complete overhaul due to screw-ups by other so-called "professionals". This wall has been a posting place since 1976. Sorry, no Zaks there.

My grandpa was a one eyed framer... lost his eye cleaning fish as a teenager.

I still have his glass eye...

 

[Baer Charlton]

Yeah, when are you going to finish that shadow box Dave?

 

[Bob Doyle]

He has the eye, he just has to find it!

Last I heard it was in the coffee can with the marbles. A couple of cart's eyes and a few big shooters in that can. Can't figure out which shooter is the real eye!

Dang it, Baer, you had me!! I thought "Cool! Someone knows who framed this!"! (I even read your response twice before I realized it was Baers' reply and therefore just a leg pullin'.

Maybe the scent of all the Nor Cal Whoopie Pies has affected by brain!

Incidentally, do all you guys save stickers and display them somewhere in the back room? I have only worked in one shop who didn't, so I had to initiate the tradition.

Stickers

We save them and call it the wall of shame, if the framing is a real stinker we note the problems of the framing.

Thats funny, I thought I was a little weird for saving all the stickers off frame jobs that come in, but now I dont feel so strange since evidently lots of others do it
