Title: Searching for Information on this mirror
Post by: angelina77 on February 25, 2007, 11:29:21 PM: I found this mirror in the crawl space beneath my 1915 craftsman home. The town I am in is a water port and on a major train route. I have spoken to local antique dealers who think it may be from a boat or train. I haven't been able to find anything like it at all. Anyone know where it could be from?Link to photo: share.dell.shutterf ly.com/action/welcome?sid=8Aas2rRu5as2L4

Thanks.

Post by: angelina77 on February 27, 2007, 11:09:49 AM: Thank you D&B. I have been searching the internet since I found it. Why can't I find anything like it? Is there somewhere specific I can find information on it? I was offered $150 for it but I wanted to know more first.
Thanks for your help.

The shelving with the raised portions keep the glass/shaving items, etc. from falling off. It looks to be all brass?, which you can clean with a brass polish. Is the mirror broken? A beveled mirror would add value. It would probably be difficult to track down information unless by cleaning you discover a manufacturers name.
