    Any thoughts on this stamp or mirror timeframe? Value?

    Simons Brothers, Philadelphia, active 1840-present.
    Value... maybe $40-$60 US, IMHO. Check ebay completed prices for reference. (Brand name doesn't contribute to value, in this case.)
    Yours has an Art Deco feel.
    It really needs a good polish!

    As you can see from this image borrowed from SilverflatwareFashions the impression on your mirror has a small problem.

    Given the design, I think it was made in the 1920s to 1930s.

    And another vote for polishing!

    The hand mirror appears to have the older Simons Bros. mark:

    The positioning of the shield vs sterling is more dependent on the space available than when the item was made.

    I was only pointing out that the S is not complete on your mirror.

    Interesting when two design eras clash -- the Art Deco mirror shape and the earlier, ornate monogram style.

    depends on size, the last hand mirror I scrapped (took it apart) I got $150CDN/$112US for it:)

    As you say, size does matter. ;)
    My tentative valuation is simply based on recent eBay completed auctions.
