Thanks to all of you who wanted this. There is just one happy owner. Wish I had duplicates to make you all happy but as you are well aware, "they just don't make em anymore!" This is a gorgeous frame, and I am proud that North Carolina was the home to this builder & his work, albeit a sad ending.

I will keep my eyes open for Silk Hope~McLeans, surely there are more in this region than elsewhere, so stay tuned!
