<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 59706, member: 78"]Hi Mill Cove,</p><p> Great mirror. Looks like 40s/50s to me with that type of frame. Mirror looks original with that bit I can see of the back. The weight and shipping of that piece is going to be a horror. If it were me and I had to ship it, it would go without the mirror. The least little bump will cause pieces to fly off. You could try to buy a mirror box from a moving company but you will still have to repack it for shipping. The moving company will not have the bouncing of 30 handlers at sorting offices both human and machinical. If it was a sentimental thing you wanted to send to a friend I MIGHT consider it. I would cover the edges with plastic film and spray foam insulation over the sides and then pack it in the mirror/picture box from the moving company.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
