Item Description
2- 3/16" with three short streaks of lost silvering but still 90% present. Wonderful color scene of Buster holding up one of his shoes while Tige stands on his hind legs with his front paws on the top edge of a Buster Brown shoe box. Lower rim has imprint of "F.O. Canfield, Dunkerton, Iowa" and curl names Chicago maker Carroll. Lower half has scattered raised dots of cello but cello remains super clean with great gloss. Exc. Probably the first mirror to promote the product after Outcault made his endorsement deal while at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. Scarce.
