Antique Winchester reverse painted, inlaid with abalone, advertising mirror made for the 1893 Columbian Worlds expo by Lewis Comfort Tiffany. 99.9 percent of Winchester collectors are unaware that this mirror exists.  There were only two Winchester rifles embellished and displayed by Tiffany for the 1893 expo. Tiffany did not offer Winchester rifles in there sales catalogs. This mirror was the advertising to help publicize the relationship between the two companies. 
  

What makes you think it’s worth $3,000,999?  Three million can still get you A LOT!
To be honest with you, your mirror was manufactured about 40 or 50 years ago, something you see at a flea market for $75, you negotiate to $50 and still question if you didn’t get burned on the deal.
There’s an almost identical one to yours on eBay now for $345 which hasn’t sold because it’s priced at 5 to 10 times what it is worth.
  

Does this really look almost identical to you?   Are you legally blind? Or just FOS?
  

In fairness to DB I think we all believe the real price is closer to his than yours by like 3 million. I don’t want to be rude but I think you set yourself up for ridicule with your asking price. You own it and can ask what you want for it but you posted it here we didn’t come to you. All of these guys either sell alot of Winchesters, buy alot of Winchesters or both. I think they understand value, appraisals and provenance. I think unanimously we question the value and you have offered zero proof of appraisal or Provenance. If I’m asking 6 figures much less 7 the ol’ take my word for it just doesn’t cut it my friend. My advice is the same. Take it to Richmond Auctions. They have the big money vintage advertising and collectible buyers like RIA has the gun buyers. If it’s worth anything you will get it there for sure. Good luck!

They are not cheap!  The last one I saw sold for $1K and that was a few years ago!

Bump to top, I know it’s a long shot, but I have to try
  

Bill,

For what Winchester model?  A Model 1897, or a Model 1912?  WW I or WW II production?
