I found this Shaving Mirror this Weekend 09/28-29/2019, and decided to post after I saw Pete(ho2caltcha), had post one that he has. Mine needs a little fixing, but really not bad. The Maple Wood Veneer Mirror has a pivot Mirror, held to 2 scroll side brackets, by a wood nob screw on each side. The 2-6" wide Maple front Drawers are dovetail joined to a Redwood box, and separated by an extended center support, that is matched on the front ends, the secondary Wood on the bottom, looks like Oak, and is gouged out in the center of the Drawers, as a bottom finger pull. It is supported on 5 ball feet, 3 on the front, and 2 on the back, it stands 23" high by 18 1/2" wide, and 8 1/4" deep. The Mirror Frame is 18 1/2" tall by 14 1/2" wide. There's no makers names or marks, I found one similar on etsy, and will put a link in comments, but I don't think mine is as old as it, and might be USA made, the Redwood makes me think that!
The other things that I posted with the Mirror are all recent finds, and if you would like to know anything about them just let me know in comments! :^D
Thank you for looking, and thanks to Pete for posting his Mirror! All comments and questions are welcome! :^)

Thanks again Pete, for showing your Mirror! :^)
Thank you for taking a look, and the love of what you saw, Kevin, Michael, and Brian, always nice to get, and appreciated! :^)
Great looking shaving mirror! I have a Willett wildwood cherry shaving mirror from the 1940's. It's part of our Willett wildwood cherry bedroom suit.
Thanks jscott, the price was right on this one, and a little work on it could make it a little better! :^D Yours sounds nice, have you posted it before?
Thank you Eileen, and yes that little 4 1/2" Green Vase is a beauty, that I got 2 weeks ago. I think it's a Blank, that you could have a Flower, or little Portrait painted, or a Place name as a Souvenir. It only has 2 little marks on the bottom, that might be from the person that did the Gold Leaf, probably US made, but could be from Europe! :^D
Thanks to you all for the love given,
Jenni

May I get a better look at the low bowl, with gold rim, 2nd photo has it upturned behind a plate.
Thank you!
Thanks jscott, I'll be looking forward to it! :^D

Thomas, you're really making the rounds, thanks for stopping here for awhile, and lovin what you saw! :^)
Hey I have just seen this having posted a very similar one just now - did anyone date yours? Please check my mirror out ??
Thank you for your comment Aly, yes yours looks like it might even be made by the same company, just a different model, without the drawers. The link at the top of this, is what I posted to your post also, and says it's 200yrs old, but I think closer to 120yrs, at the turn of the 20th century not the 19th! :^)
