Photo Holder

I picked up a couple unusual  items yesterday at an estate sale. I didn't know what they were but they spoke to me so I brought them home. 


 I did a little research and found out they are vintage Atkins Co. cast iron raker gauges. So now I know what they are but I don't think I have the need for cast iron raker gauges so I had to figure out what to do with them. I had also picked up some lovely vintage photo's at the sale and thought I would try to pair them up with the raker gauges. Here is what I came up with:






I kind of like it. What do you think?
