Salesman's Sample Campaign Mirror
Salesman's Sample Campaign Mirror
82909
A small, mahogany pivot Camp Mirror.
The cover board twists on a brass pin to reveal the mirror which has boxwood and ebony stringing to the edge of the glass. The mirror silvering has deteriorated over time to leave it a reassuring foggy grey. The cover boards lock to each over by the means of an inset boxwood tooth to each side. When closed, they fit tightly to a slot to the opposite board.
The very small size of this mirror points to it probably being a salesman's sample. Although useable, it wouldn't be very practical other than it would easily fit into a top pocket. An unusual piece. Late 19th Century.
Closed size is given.
Larger mirror is sold separately.
