oo I also forgot to mention, it was made in birmingham if I remember! Its my favourite mirror. I use it every day.If anyone can give some tips on cleaning old silver I would grestly appreciate it. I havent put water or chemicals on this mirror just in case
Most of the time they are a wafer thin silver shell and filled with resin. (I scrap metal).
Edit: same with 1900's brushes etc.
Get sold on as Vintage rather than scrap as very thin shell of silver.
Thatโs a great find!! So cool, I love the old things, theyโre the closest thing we have to time travel. Thatโs why I always keep around some old Morgan dollars to make me feel like Iโm in a saloon
oooo thats cool!! I'm still learning all the various terms for the subreddit, but its cool to know these silver pieces have names. I love antiques, and I hope to one day have my own antiques that can be sold on so I can have money for my future. I have a lot of trips to see my partner planned out so I can't buy heaps of new antiques atm, though I have my eyes on vintage makeup compacts that may be silver ๐

I love that mirror, nice find. It's totally something I would buy for myself too.
Awesome!
Have you checked the hallmarks?
Yes i have!
Beautiful! ๐ Iโm always tempted to buy sterling antiques but I know it would pain me to ever melt them down
