Decorative device with a smooth opaque magnetic surface for magnets

A decorative device with a smooth opaque magnetic display surface in combination with magnets comprising:

• a) an opaque frame member with a front side and a rear side having a viewing opening and a recessed portion formed about the viewing opening in the rear side of the frame member;
• b) an opaque magnetic plate of solid steel fitted against the recessed portion in said opaque frame member;
• c) means for securing said opaque magnetic plate of solid steel to said frame member comprising a plurality of glazier points, each of which is pressed into the rear side of said frame member of the recessed portion to hold said opaque magnetic plate of solid steel thereto;
• d) opaque backing panel means of corrugated paper material fitted against and attached to said opaque magnetic plate of solid steel facing the rear side of said frame member and enclosing said glazier points so that said glazier points are between said magnetic plate of solid steel and said opaque backing panel when said device is assembled for use;
• e) means for removably affixing said frame member to a vertical flat surface so that the magnets can be placed onto said opaque magnetic plate of solid steel facing the front side of said frame member to be seen through the viewing opening in said frame member, said removably affixing means including at least one picture hanger fastened into the rear side of said frame member so that said picture hanger can be hooked onto a fastener placed into the vertical flat surface;
• and
• f) an opaque non-magnetic sheet of thin vinyl material laminated onto said opaque magnetic plate of solid steel facing the front side of said frame member so that the magnets can be placed onto said opaque non-magnetic sheet of thin vinyl material and held thereto by said opaque magnetic plate of solid steel, said sheet of thin vinyl material having decorative indicia thereon.
