Only a few of 3/4" wide mouldings cost less. This is one of several Matte Black flat top mouldings that range in width from 3/4" to 2" wide.

#2. #207 Matte Black 1 1/2". (13%) My second biggest moulding seller is a slightly larger version of #203. It's 1 1/2" wide as opposed to 1 3/16" wide for #203. Aside from the width, it is identical to #203 and makes up 16% of all my sales since 2001. It gives newspaper frames a slightly better presentation.
