another guess
a barber cabinet

any evidence where a strop was attached

No


is there any evidence on the back that a mirror was attached at one time

No


usually there would be a mirror attached

There is no evidence of holes that have been repaired anywhere on the piece.. Perhaps a hole in the sides and/front could have been filled and painted over, but the back is unfinished and there are no "old holes" to be found.


you cannot have too many mirrors in a barber shop

Well, I'm not sure I agree. In many barber shops there are mirrors only on one wall. The barber faces the customer away from the mirrors while cutting his hair and then spins him around for the reveal, typically using a hand held mirror to allow the customer to see the back of their own head.

At least that's been my experience in many different barber shops, in many different cities, over the years.
