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.

Yes, and AI seems to have the data to back it up. Pure fantasy, certainly not "one of one".

Certainly not one of one ? Please tell me and the forum where another one can be found

Of course, for only a third of the asking price. I hope you didn't pay over $200 for it. Do a quick AI search of the image as I and sb did.

I don't even know what proof there is that said mirror wasn't made yesterday.

Maverick I believe you posted a response when I first submitted this mirror in 2011.

I have finally got rid of my display case and have everything locked up in a safe now. I have a couple boxes of 22 ammo my grandpa gave me and would like to find a home for them where they might not stagnate in the dark. First is an unopened box of Green and Red Smokeless that I believe is from 1911. It is the 2 piece box, still taped closed on one side, the other side is broken but there is no indication the box has been pulled open. The other is a Kopper Klad that I believe is from 1929. One of the box flaps is torn off but still there. Still has a price tag from a Sears Roebuck and Co retail store for 25 cents. There are 2 rounds left. I know I'm not supposed to mention that profane other name, Rem***ton, but I'm throwing in a dogbone box of Kleanbore. It's missing a box flap and has 14 rounds of lead and 11 rounds that appear to be a newer copper round. I have taken a lot of pics, I won't post all of them but if you would like more I can get them too you. Thought I would give the Win group a shot before an auction site. I was thinking $250 is a pretty good price. Happy to answer any questions.

He originally posted it for sale for 1.5 million and then apparently upon reflection decided it was priced too low and doubled the price a week later

I see what you did there...

I have no idea what you are talking about 😀
