<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 223433, member: 37"]I think Don's answer is spot on but think it could be as late as the 50s. I have seen these double sided picture/mirrors before but they are not too common. Given the suspected age of this, I doubt this is a mercury mirror. They were pretty much out of use by the 30s. Here is some information on mercury amalgam mirrors.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.conservation-wiki.com/wiki/Tin-Mercury_Amalgam_Mirrors" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.conservation-wiki.com/wiki/Tin-Mercury_Amalgam_Mirrors" rel="nofollow">http://www.conservation-wiki.com/wiki/Tin-Mercury_Amalgam_Mirrors</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
