<p>[QUOTE="hickoryjim, post: 202319, member: 3779"]Hi All </p><p><br /></p><p>i am new to your site so thanks for having me ! I have loved and collected antique furniture for years and recently bought a Victorian shaving mirror for a dresser . It is in good shape and just needs to be gently wiped down . All the veneer is nice and even the finials are intact . </p><p><br /></p><p>The mirror , of course , was made to tilt for various heights but it does not lock in place anymore . In the back there are two tiny screws that were stuck when i bought it at auction . I put a little wd40 on them overnight and they move fine now . I can completely unscrew them but they do not go in any further . I took for granted that would be how the mirror would stop from tilting but in retrospect they are quite small screws . Is there something else i am missing or do the screws - or maybe i should say - should the screws go farther in and allow the mirror to be adjusted ? I have some pics attached , hope someone can help me out . Thanks , Hickory [ATTACH]58127[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]58127[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]58128[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]58127[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]58128[/ATTACH] Jim ps the hickory is for hickory shafted golf clubs from pre 1930 - my other love[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
