A large mirror was given to my mother about 30 years ago from a friend
who had, some years before, purchased it at an antique store.  You can
see the mirror at:

http://www.geocities.com/sanichols2000/temporarypreviewfile.html

At the bottom of the frame - where broken chains are featured - it has
inscribed: "Proclamation of Emancipation" and "A. Lincoln" - carved to
actually mirror Lincoln's signature.  At the top of the mirror is
inscribed, "Constitution."  I doubt that this mirror dates to the
Civil war, but I am interested in its history and if it has any value.
 Any information about the history of the piece or very similar pieces
will be welcome.

Thanks.

cephalic,

You can try uploading your image at http://www.imagemagician.com. The
site requires free registration. I do not think they will refuse
access to someone's images unless requests to do so have used up a
HUGE amount of bandwidth.

Regards,

Hope it works this time!

At geocities, if "too many" people try to view your site, it will be
temporarily shut down for a few hours. Researchers are not allowed to
have email contact with clients, unfortunately.
