old framed bus painted on glass

hi guys

anyone have a idea where this might have come from ?

didnt realise it was on glass untill i took the back off to have a gander

its on really thick bevelled glass

not really finding anything similair, unsure of age

glass measures 17 inches by 13 inches

was happy to pay a fiver just for the frame

any thoughts appreciated

 

in light without backing

 

I too like the frame, but sorry, Charlie, that's about all I can add! Does it ACTUALLY look like it might be about ready to start "flaking" off the glass as it appears in your photos it might be ready to???

 

Hi aqui, no it's pretty solid paint, only looks like that in harsh light
But does look better with a backing

 

THAT'S great, especially if you're going to re-sell!!! NICE looking piece.....you should make a profit!!!

 

Daimler...early 1900's bus......???

maybe 1980's............

 

Love that stairway !

Thanks komo

 

the advertising cracks me up !!!!

 

That looks like an olde tyme-y decorative item (with damage) from the 1970s when painted mirrors were all the rage.

I think you might be right deb, maybe part of a series from perhaps a pub

 

Home decor, I'd think. During that period, lots of wine & spirits and beer companies produced their own branded mirrors as retail incentives.
