<p>[QUOTE="techbiker, post: 4457809, member: 60629"]ct0116, is the frame assembled with staples, gun nails or standard finish nails? You may also try scraping a bit of the black paint off the back of the mirror's frame to examine the wood underneath. If it's heart pine or douglas-fir and the frame is assembled with finish nails (not from a nail gun), good chance the frame is older. I suspect the frame is fairly new too but can't say for sure from my computer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
