I have no idea about this item which a friend has contacted me on trying to find out any information. Supposedly, it originally belonged to grandmother who grew up and lived her entire life in the Chicago area and it is from the 1908 Chicago Cubs team. I think it is referred to as a pocket mirror?? I did some research from previous auctions and found several of these type examples from 1909 and 1910 but did not come up with any auction results regarding a 1908 one. Also, curious if there were reproductions ever made of these and if so--how to tell the difference and any guesses on value if in fact it is indeed the real deal or should I figure about the same as 1909/10 ones that have sold at auction in the past....thanks for any opinions from anyone who might know on these.
