<p>[QUOTE="Lynnie, post: 408836, member: 711"][ATTACH=full]142355[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142356[/ATTACH] I just bought this mirror. It was not represented as being an antique, so I didn't get ripped off (I bought it at an estate sale and paid $30.00). The back of the mirror is marked Hitchcock Alford Co., Hitchcocks-ville, Conn. Below is the word Warranted. The "n" letters are printed backward.The mirror has lovely burled walnut and a reverse-painted floral painting. It measures 33" x 13".</p><p><br /></p><p>My question-- if it's not old, what's the deal with the effort to make it look that way? There are no other maker marks on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
