I am hoping someone can tell me a bit about this piece. There is a stamp on the back of the mirror that's not legible but I can make out "1927" if anyone knows anything please let me know! My curiosity has been getting the best of me :)
Interesting piece. Difficult to tell the maker and a bit unusual because of the knee buster center shelf. Looks like a triple wing mirror. I use the term wing because it appears the smaller left and right mirrors can't be move inward as opposed to being just a triple mirror with side mirrors that don't move. The 1927 is quite probably a mfg date. You don't show any joinery or drawer construction etc. but the castors will give you a good idea. They could be made from a number of different materials from leather to wood to metal but what little I can see they fit the period.
Hello fhrjr2 thank you for your response. I added a picture of the caster to this post, it appears to be made of wood. I also made an additional post with more pictures of the hardware, etc. The mirrors do fold inward and upon looking at it with a flashlight I found another stamp under the side mirror looks like it might say the same thing but a different year.. maybe 18??. Its really hard to tell..
The "1927" stamp is on track with the dating on your piece.
Based on style, I'd put it in the 2nd quarter 20th century.
