Hey Joey,
Find the best frame shop in town and see what they suggest. Unless it is in the sun no need for UV glass (spendy).
The shops make their money on mating and it isn't required. A thin edge frame with glass that holds the piece without damage looks great.

      Yup, glass is important in any room but mostly in the kitchen. Cooking oils get everywhere. I have a double bubble clock there that get's caked with grease.

Ive gotten a lot of things framed (sports and family related) and I find that COSTCO gives the BEST prices.  The selection is not as wide as a frame place, but the price can't be beat by any large chain place.
And NO I don't work for Costco or have any shares lol.

What is the  size?  Stock frames are readily available, and usally under $20.
If you have a Michael's Arts and Crafts nearby,  or hobby lobby, they always have a 10 or 20%  off coupon.

Yeah Joey that's a nice cardboard.. I'd get it framed with UV glass and hang it in there with the machines...
kinda pricey but well worth it.... too nice of a cardboard to let it fade... also any steam, oil,grease from cooking in the
air would be bad... I would move it into another room... get a nice metal Coke menu board for the kitchen  smile

AND see you in Columbia this weekend!

It does seem that it is a little more difficult to find stuff today then just 2 years ago.  I wish I started this hobby 25 years ago.  I would have lots more cool stuff.  Nowadays, we "junkers" just have to work harder that's all.
