D. Milch & Sons Inc Mirror

By Craktskull, 28 June, 2020
Description

My wife bought this mirror yesterday.  Neither one of us know anything about antiques or mirrors, but it had label on the back with D. Milch & Sons Inc and a (apparently) handwritten number of 1769 on it.  The label looks like the one I have pictured here but with a different number.  (I didn't want to take the thing down again to photograph the actual label.  It's too heavy) I tried to find out more about the company but keep coming up empty.  I guess they were a home decor company in the early 1900's, but haven't been able to figure anything more.  It's 5 ft wide and around 40" tall.  We're trying to find out where D. Milch & Sons were located, any guess on the age of the mirror and an approximate value.  I think she got a smokin good deal, but we'll see.  It does look great in our house either way.
