Just a few questions:
1. Is there a manufacturer, maker, or other information such as a model numner named anywhere on the piece? 

2. What's the condition?

-The maker, and condition of any item helps determine the actual estimated time the piece was created or manufactured?

Rough Summary, My guess would be that this was sold at a government auction, and that that number is the item number to identify the mirror. Government auctions were put n place, and are still done actually, to raise revenue for the government and also sale seized assets to settle any government debt. It may be possible to contact the Treasury Auction Department with the item number to see if their is a record of the year, date, amount, and a description of the product, but I'm not sure of the retention period auction records have. At this time vintage antique mirrors have a retail value of 75-150 dollars. However, the mirror would typically be worth less if any information (year, period, maker) cannot be verified. This overall is very interesting just because of the association of the American Treasury inclusion. 

I would be interested in following the progress of this item. 

Sincerely,

James Tyler Boyd
