We think that portraits still came with flaps, but our archive of these portraits is still limited. We no longer see them in the 1940s, but think they were still used in the early 30s. We have found one American flap fram taken in 1930. We are not positive just when flaps were last used. We are archiving portraits as we find dated examples, so we hope to eventually have a better fix on this. We do not have enough of these 1930s flap folders archived to be able to assess color and style trends.
