Such procedure required a book of many pages or panels or the like, which are cumbersome and bulky and spaceconsuming. Because of the size of each as well as a collectionof different ones, it is not practical for such to be readily transportable with each saleman or for each salesman to have a separate one, as well as such books, collection or the like being costly.
Additionally, such prior corner devices required a separate simulator frame for each combination of frame-designs having dual borders of different shades, colors, textures, or the like.

Note also that in the preferred arrangement illustrated, there is a corresponding outside-border right angle 16 corresponding to the right angles 14 and 15 to give a full and complete accurate impression to the viewer as to the appearance of such a frame in relation to a picture 11 (shown in phantom) having its left upper corner l2 placed within the right-angle corner 15. FIG. 1 further illustrates the imaginary extension of the card 9. Typically the cards 9 and 8 respectively come to a point 17 and 18 respectively.
Each ofthe cross-sectional view of FIGS. 2 and 3 correspond to the labeling of FIG. 1, except additionally illustrating a rivet-type base 13a ofthe pivot mount 13.
The embodiment of FIG. 4 corresponds in prime labeling of parts corresponding to those of FIG. 1. The variation in shape is self-evident, with the blue over gold at one end being illustrated and with silver on red at the other end being illustrated; it should be under stood that by pivoting 180 the top member identified as 9' and 9", there is provided another combination at each end, namely silver over gold and blue over red, each respectively.

Additionally however, there is illustrated a top dialer which is commonly pivoted but hides or conceals from view the serially adjacent choices on each of opposite sides of the choice being currently compared, the fork legs a and 20b of element 19 serving to mask the adjacent portions from view. Thereby accordingly the viewer can more accurately discern the aesthetic appearance to himself devoid of the adjacent confusing colors. However, the element 19 preferably does not cover other portions around the disks thereby allowing the viewer with a glimpse to ascertain other existing possible combination (s) that the viewer may wish to try with his particular picture to be framed. With this embodiment, the picture may be placed within the right-angle indentation of the lower disk 8" or may alternatively be placed on top of the visible portion of the lower disk 8" and flushly against the right-angle edge of the card 9" in order to get the impression of such a frame alone i.e., not combined (not a'double border effect).
The FIG. 6 embodiment is a crosssection taken along line 6-6 of FIG. 5, disclosing the three layers, namely the bottom disk 8", the intermediate layer-top disk 9", and the top layer-concealing element 19.
