[QUOTE="GaleriaGila, post: 153128, member: 993"]There I was minding my own business, on the way home from a job, and I spy a "3 family estate sale", whatever that might be. It was big, and just opening, so I pulled over and looked around. I had no luck at all at the last few such outings, but I was just IN THE MOOD! I hurried around the whole thing quickly (to see if anything really jumped out at me), and I ran across this pretty little mirror for 55 dollars. Now I don't know exactly WHAT it is, but a few things about it made me figure it was well worth 55 bucks! I bought it. There is a bit of silvering loss at the very bottom left, along with a nearby chip in the trim, which I will be able to camouflage or repair, I'm sure. It's 28 inches tall, 14 at the widest. Oh, man, I was so eager to show it that I didn't clean it! Just now, I Googled my best guesses for descriptors... "1930 reverse etched applied gesso mirror" and some similar ones popped up alright!! I know a few styles that it's NOT, but... what IS it, please?
