Neat postwar mirror in lid set, but I think it's been painted :scratch2:

All the others I found online are mahogany.

Painted, nice color for a Bathroom, a TV not so much.
With luck it's Latex paint and will peel off with a heat gun.

I wish I could get that one.

Let see, 3200 miles round trip, / 20 mpg highway X $4.00 per gal = $640 for Gas.

Nope, not happening. :no:

I've seen them at the ETF and that is the only non local place I'd go to get one.

Guess we are lucky they did not paint the grille cloth or the inside of the lid!

I think that's the third one I've seen that had been painted.

"Gee Wilbur, WHY did they stick this funny-lookin' ol' TeeVee in this h'yere Chester Drawers ?!? An' WHY did they put this small Mirror in the lid ?!? Ain't big enuff hardly, t'pick yer Teeth in....Well, hit'll look awrite after Poovie Mae paints it w/some o' that purty lime green paint she got from over to the Insane Asylum Surplus Sale...Whaddya think ?"
