Barn Auction Find, North Central Ohio.

Old dresser top with tilt mirror, covered in dust and spider webs.
For a few dollars this was mine. Getting it my car was less easy. I had to find someone to borrow a screwdriver, then, I was able to remove the legs which would have attached to the dresser back.
Mirror removed. Frame scrubbed with a hot water and brillo pad. Sadly, the silvering on the mirror came off like glitter. The glass is beveled. Beveled glass is always a keeper.
Staining and sealing.
I debated whether to have the glass re-silvered or find another solution. I opted for silver paint, found at Pat Catan's.
Temporary location. Later the perfect spot will reveal itself to me.

Might have been just the right place for Looking Glass spray paint.
