This piece is ~500 years old (an antiphonal page from 16th century Spain or Italy). I found it at the thrift and adopted it, as it was relevant to my undergrad studies. However, I don't think I have the money for preservation framing. What can I do myself or ask for that won't break the bank? It looks like it was last framed mid-century, so I'm not sure what kind of glass it would have. The back is just cardboard and the vellum touches the glass. What do I do?

The update on my paddle-less thrifted Zoj. I bought the $17 off-brand paddles on Amazon and tried the machine on banana bread. I don't usually use a machine for quickbreads, but I had some really sad bananas. It didn't mix all the dry ingredients from the sides of the pan, but it works! Because it came with all the manuals (even french) and mixing cups and spoons, I'm wondering if some employee may have pocketed the paddles hoping nobody would buy it until their shift was over? However, the english manual shows a lot of use, so maybe the paddles were in a drawer somewhere and they really didn't get donated.

I had a bottom up view as this was on the top shelf but I thought I recognized the shape. The price? $16 with my coupon. Lights up when plugged in. Sticker price at Williams Sonoma of $450. The catch? It's missing the paddles. Does anyone know if paddles from other machines are interchangable? I have a KBS and a Hamilton Beach, so I'll need to be convinced it's worth buying new paddles for this one if it might not work! What makes this one so much better than all the others? I have always loved my zojirushi rice cooker (although I'm in love with my talking and singing Korean Cuckoo!) so you don't need to convince me it's great... just how much better?
