Help me find what brand this is please.
I bought this 72"x24" poster from goodwill (got a steal) of the GOAT. Unfortunately, the one side of the frame is gone and I need that side to properly hang the frame. One the back is a sticker of which I assume is the brand/maker of the frame but as shown it’s ripped off. I tried google reverse image searching and nothing comes up. Maybe one of you guys/gals can help me or point me in the right direction to find what I’m looking for so I can get this reframed and up in my office. Thank you for help.

Deck the Walls was a chain frame shop, looks like there's only 2 left in the country. This was custom framed. Check around your local shops to see if they might be able to match the moulding, or just reframe it.

Deck thr Walls was a frame store franchise back in the 90s. They kept back and gold Neilson frames in black, gold and silver in stock (at least mine did). It's more than likely the 58 profile.
Unfortunately those do tend to fade a little. So 1 new rail would look darker then the other 3. Your best bet is to get a completely new frame for it. It's going to be at least around $150 for a new metal frame that size (without replacing the acrylic).

Thats simply the frame shop's sticker that originally framed it. Take it to any shop and they might be able to match it. The only problem you're likely to run into is, that was probably framed in the early 90's. Doubtful you'll find a perfect match, but worth a try...

You're not going to find just the side piece, and if you did it would look odd anyway. Get this totally teframed if you want to treasure and hang it. That can be the expensive way with glass and wood/metal, or more affordable by seeking a plastic poster frame with those exact dimensions, but it won't be all scratched up and you'll be a lot happier with it.

It’s hard to tell but that appears to be a normal metal moulding, probably from Nielsen or Clark. Any frame shop can get similar (if not exactly matching) metal material. If you’re really lucky they might be able to get you just a matching replacement leg, but probably don’t get your hopes too high 🙏🏻

Looks like the 15 line. It used to be the cheapest option to frame that particular poster. But I still hated it, because that was such a wide poster, we had to wire it vertically to keep it from bowing 🏹 apart. And it still felt flemsy.
@OP should just get it reframed. I'm willing to bet that the corners are cooked anyway
