Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>$1500-$2000 for one in NM condition. When did you find it on ebay? How much did you pay?

Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>Bill:<br /><br />Although not common by any means, I have seen the Pittsburgh piece come up for auction a few times via ebay, Mastro, REA, etc.<br /><br />I have not seen the Cobb before but I have seen the image from the mid-late 1900's. Does anyone think that this mirror is period or was produced after that time frame of the mid-late 1900's?

Posted By: <b>andy becker</b><p>hi bill,<br />another example was offered at the chicago national two years ago for $900 in nm condition. i didn't buy it at first, and it was gone by the time i decided to go for it (about an hour later).<br /><br />i would agree with 1500-2000 in nm.....maybe a bit more.<br /><br />nice piece!<br /><br />best,<br />andy
