Item Description
2.75" long picturing "Edward J. McKeever, Vice President/Stephen W. McKeever, Second Vice President." Cello has about five barely noticeable tiny raised bumps on the far left and at center a .5" very light hairline scratch but all of this is just barely visible in reflected light. Condition remains clean and Exc. with high gloss all displaying Mint. On the silvering side, about a 1/8" spot is gone. Silvering is o/w totally reflective. (Mirror likely dates from just after 1912 as we found on the internet a New York Times headline from August 30, 1912 reading "Ebbets Takes In Partners; McKeever Bros. Buy Shares In Brooklyn Baseball Club"). Rare.
