I have asked many people as to what this object is to no avail. Does anyone know? I found it in a farmhouse my husband and I purchased. It is about 4" long and heavy/solid. Thanks for any help!

Hi,

I purchased this Lawson Company mirror from a thrift store and have been trying to learn more about the company and the possible value of the mirror.

From what I've read so far F.H. Lawson Co of Cincinnati was founded in 1816 and produced metal trash cans and garbage pails. This makes me more curious about the mirror, because it seems to be a leap from producing trash cans to large decorative mirrors.

Any information you could share would be greatly appreciated!

Thank You!
