$1500-$2000 for one in NM condition. When did you find it on ebay? How much did you pay?

Hey there,

Ben Fisher has one. Maybe he could provide a little background on it?

I got this Ty Cobb mirror on ebay also... I have talked to Dan about this before, but if anyone else can help with some information value etc. that would be great.

Thanks

Bill:

Although not common by any means, I have seen the Pittsburgh piece come up for auction a few times via ebay, Mastro, REA, etc.

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?

hi bill,
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).

i would agree with 1500-2000 in nm.....maybe a bit more.

nice piece!

best,
andy
