What’s the value of an old plaster mirror?
I’ve seen a rectangular mirror online made with a dark, carved plaster frame with gilding. It’s about half the size of the one you own. It was made by Century Industries, Chicago Illinois, circa 1950s. The dimensions are 22.5″ L x 2.5″ W x 30.5″ H. The current price is $200.
Where did Belknap glass make mirrors in the 1920s?
The Belknap Glass Co. in Seattle made lots of mirrors in the 1920s. Apparently the company still makes mirrors. 1920s mirrors with plain frames and cloudy glass could be difficult to value. I did a Belknap online with an 22″ x 33″ with an arched top and carved wood edge that was made in 1923.
How can I tell if my old mirror is in good condition?
Excellent condition means your aged mirror has minor flaws, such as a tiny chip on the frame that’s been repaired or a hairline crack on the bottom of the frame that’s hidden from view. If your mirror is in good condition, the piece has suffered some visible bruises and bumps during its lifetime.
