Featured A mirror without a mirror

Hi again everyone,

I struck out again today for some hunting in nowhereville USA. I came across this sterling mirror sans the mirror. I'm not sure if the store realized it was sterling, but they priced it at $15. I thought it was a good deal considering the whole thing is sterling; it has a hollow handle so no weighting. I'm not sure yet if it will go into my scrap pile or maybe I get a replacement mirror??

 

that's a lotta nice work...and design too !!!
how could they not see it's sterling.............they must be daft !
Again Mr N8......... good on you !!!

 

Thank komokwa, to be fair, it was very tarnished when I found it. I probably spent about three minutes scanning over it before I found the mark. I love the little sneaky marks, but yes now that it's polished up it seems too obvious to miss.

 

It's too pretty to scrap.
I would try to put a mirror in it.
Or, I'm the type to put a really weird picture in it and leave it in a guest room, face down, just for laughs.

 

Id have to put a mirror in that lovely thing. You wouldnt get much more than you paid in scrap I would think,and the design is wonderful so why not ?

 

Out of my realm, but I'd have a really tough time sending that to the scrapyard. Love those leafy scrolls.

 

Plus, it's beautiful, @MrNate

 

I scrap a lot of silver, but that's too nice to melt. I might try putting a photograph in there instead of another mirror. Getting one cut to fit that shape would be difficult. It would make a heckuva photo frame though.

 

too much love there to scrap it.........
& the initials are .. M Y ...as in MY as in Mine !!!!
So, I'd keep it the way it is !!!

 

LOVE your idea, Cluttered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Classy mirror Nate, a real beauty, with gorgeous scrollwork. Whatever you put in it, it is the back that counts.
If you do put something in, will you show us the result?

 

Another nate great find.

 

OH SO pretty, MR Nate!!!!!
