Pictures don't do this piece justice! The workmanship and finish on this mirror and its stand are remarkable! This is an oval mirror that would sit on a chest or in a bathroom. It is Maple, with the popular Andover finish. The Mirror tilts for use. It is held in place in its stand by two brass oval pieces on the outside. T is also brass fittings that are embedded into the mirror frame sides. I have tried to photograph it to show the front with the tilt from the bottom toward the top, the back the same way, and the side. The back shows you the Tell City label, although it did not photograph to be read. It says Pattern, 3209; Finish, #48 Andover; Tell City Chair Co. (followed by an S1 or an 81 with part of the 8 missing. My guess is S1); Tell City, Indiana. You can tell that this mirror and all of its surrounding maple is in GREAT shape (no scratches or missing silver on the mirror, either!) . Measurements: Framed Mirror, 16" tall and 12" wide and about 1 1/4" thick including the wood backing that backs the piece; Stand at the widest point is 16"; Base 14 1/2" wide, and (with attached cross-bar feet) 7 1/4" deep. The actual maple pieces are 3/4" wide for each foot and the piece across; All together, this piece stands about 20" to 20 1/4" tall from the base to the top of the mirror's maple frame. I was told this was known as a "SHAVING MIRROR" to go on top of a Bachelor Chest. I see it easily as a vanity mirror. I could not find it in my Tell City references. It is simply very nice, and ready for a new home! The old estate is being dismantled! These old Specialty Pieces are WONDERFUL!

Buyer pays winning bid price plus $30 Shipping via Money Order or PayPal within 10 days of close of auction to avoid eBay non-payer notification. IF the USPS Priority Mail actual shipping cost plus my cost of bubble wrap (75 cents/sheet) comes to less than that amount I will refund the difference to the buyer! when I mail the package. I ship/mail and post feedback when I receive valid payment! This is the only way I know to post an absolute cost for shipping on this piece! You can check my feedback and determine whether I can be trusted!!! The cost of shipping insurance is optional for the buyer. It will be noted on the invoice as "optional" and it varies depending on the value insured. IF the buyer wants the insurance he/she can add the amount noted (actual Post Office price!) to the total for the invoice, as eBay does not add in optional fees. (My suggestion to the buyer of this piece is to take the insurance! I pack well, but mirrors are breakable!) I will be shipping this in an unassembled state: 5 pieces of Maple (framed mirror included) plus the 6 screws (2 of which are the ones with the brass oval pieces that hold the framed mirror to the stand). It is easily assembled, and will ship better apart! I will include written instructions. We describe, answer questions, and take no returns.
