In a picture of the past Clay made mention the mirror may not be correct. I could not figure out how to attach a pic to a PM, so here we are.

Is this an original, if not what does an original look like?

Thanks

Early mirrors are defined by a much more acute 90' angle between the head and base stem as indicated in the red circled area.

Effectively its similar to a mitered corner in wood working, this is the later style with a curved 90'

Hope this helps.

Many thanks. I now have to see if one can be found. Any clue when the style changed?
