Victorian Mirror

[large cent hunter]

Found this a couple years ago. Not my best, but kind of interesting. The metal is silver or silver plate, and in decent condition although I have one some spot where the metal has cracked/broken.

Those were referred to as "flirtation" or vanity mirrors. I found one that was gold gilted along with the gold chain last year. Accented with two small pearls!
Nice find!

That is a really nice relic.

I love old coins. But find enough of them and over time you appreciate the relics more.

man I just now saw the quarter you placed for size reference. Your mirror is truly a hand mirror and not the small pendant type like I found. Mine's barely larger than a quarter.
Beautiful condition!
