1. A corner bracket for mounting planar objects on a vertical surface, comprising:

  • a molded plastic corner piece having a front-wall, a rear wall, and two sidewalls extending between and perpendicular to said front and rear walls and meeting each other at a juncture forming an angle corresponding to an angular corner portion of the object to be mounted;

    said corner piece defining a slot for receiving said angular corner portion; and

    a pin including a straight shank having a pointed end and an opposite end integrally joined to said rear wall adjacent to said juncture, said shank extending along an axis substantially perpendicularly from said rear wall to permit said corner piece to be secured to a vertical surface by exerting pressure on said front wall to pierce said surface with said pointed end;

    said axis extending along said shank of said pin and perpendicularly through said rear wall, along and through said sidewalls at said juncture from said rear wall to said front wall, and perpendicularly through said front wall, to provide a strong and stable connection between said pin and said corner piece.
