Odd that you found a copy of the same print, but with a completely different title. I don't know what that's about, but somehow "The Kids' Pal" seems fitting, too. And, yes, I would frame it because I think it's worthy of being prominently displayed. Besides, I'm sure that would make Mr. Frahm happy, wherever he may be!<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to comment.<br />Cheers!<br /><br />AnthonyAnthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876509089526819429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920942292139714638.post-86591225137766377712014-11-21T12:39:39.611-08:002014-11-21T12:39:39.611-08:00Dear Anthony, thank you for the info. on this part...Dear Anthony, thank you for the info. on this particular Frahm print, which I have a more faded copy of, and it's from a calendar series of his too. On mine it says the title of "The Kids' Pal", although I like "The Crossing Guard" title even better. Think I'll frame it anyway, as even though faded, it's a keeper, as was Art Frahm himself I'm guessing! Wish there was more about him on the internet itself too, and all the best to you.Mona Diane Connerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022399915344870046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920942292139714638.post-41177546518049128382013-01-11T17:56:47.351-08:002013-01-11T17:56:47.351-08:00Hi, Lee!

However, if I were you, I'd keep searching because if you've got a painting/print with Frahm's signature there's got to be a match documented out there somewhere.<br /><br />And remember, you might just have something special there, so don't give up the search out of mere frustration. Your perseverance could possibly pay off.<br /><br />Wish I could help you more.<br />Good luck!<br /><br />AnthonyAnthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876509089526819429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920942292139714638.post-47384818886148148912013-01-09T13:07:57.922-08:002013-01-09T13:07:57.922-08:00Hi Anthony, I bought a picture of 4 hobo's and...Hi Anthony, I bought a picture of 4 hobo's and a dog at a thrift store today. The signature "frahm" is on the lower left side. I haven't been able to find the exact painting anywhere on the internet.<br /><br />Do you have any suggestions for me?<br /><br />Thanks for your time, <br />Lee<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920942292139714638.post-65390956357510334032012-04-03T23:55:37.931-07:002012-04-03T23:55:37.931-07:00Hello, Stacie!
Wow, if you've REALLY got yours...Hello, Stacie!<br />Wow, if you've REALLY got yourself an original Art Frahm hobo painting (not just a print) you certainly don't want to "give it away" for a mere $100. In fact, I just read somewhere recently that several of Frahm's calendar pin-up girl pieces have sold at auction for amounts in the $20,000 - $25,000 range. And that's for EACH painting!<br /><br />So, yeah, I think your instinct was correct about that local collector... $100?? Who does he think he's kidding?! Of course, I must clarify that I'm NO art expert or collector myself. I'd just HATE to see you get taken advantage of, and I happen to know just enough about Frahm's work to be dangerous. ;)<br /><br />I hope this helps, and I wish you luck finding buyers willing to pay a fair price.<br /><br />Anthony<br /><br />P.S. - Also, you might want to continue with the research, just so you're as educated as possible on the piece and actually KNOW what a fair deal would be. :)Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876509089526819429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920942292139714638.post-25362013138025308692012-04-02T15:52:26.343-07:002012-04-02T15:52:26.343-07:00Hello Anthony,

I've tried to reserch frahm hobo paintings and didn't come up with much on my own. I took it to a local collector and he was willing to give a $100 for it but I think I might be getting ripped off. Can you shed a little light for me?

It always feels good to hear when someone gets a kick out of what I do around here, so thank you for that, too!

It's the only gentlemanly thing to do, after all.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12885987030986795894noreply@blogger.com
