[QUOTE="mforder, post: 4011147, member: 20023"]Hello all, This is my first post here under antique furniture. I just do'n know much about anything when it comes to it. I have an old mirror which I found about 52 years ago as a kid, someone had thrown it out. The mirror was old at the time but I just don't know how old, someone once told me it was called a Queen Ann Mirror and that really didn't tell me much. I know that this mirror was refinished by my mother at one point, maybe 50 years back. I know that effect things as well. The white nails on the back were added when at that time. What I am trying to figure out is if this is something worth taking the time to sell or if it's something that I should just give to someone or place it by the curb. There are no markings on the mirror backing other than at the very top where you can see a partial label that remains. That's about all I have. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, ---Mark Additional note... the place where this was found was in Morristown, NJ. Home of Washington's Military Headquarters 1779 1780.
