Thnx for resizing this. Now i know what it is and where to put the part.
It will be a good hobby for now. i have other things to repair. What
would be a color that they might have used on that?
Rick, there was only one picture, of the mirror. Looks like the mirror to
a dresser. Pretty substantial for a dressing table, they were usually
smaller and more delicate. If it is a mirror for a dresser and it dates
back to 1920 or before, chances are about 90% that it was originally
stained and varnished. Painted was usually a special order Oak and maple
were the most common woods for furniture, since they was plentiful and
hardy. Some sycamore and walnut was available, but usually more expensive.
Elm was seldom used, too hard to work with and it warpped easily. About
its position, I would have to see the rest of the piece, and maybe I could
tell
