ANTIQUE 1890's USS OLYMPIA OUR NATIONS PRIDE EMBOSSED TIN OVER WOOD MIRROR

Description

VERY RARE LATE 1890's OR EARLY 1900's USS OLYMPIA SPANISH AMERICAN WAR DECORATIVE MIRROR AND COAT RACK IN GREAT CONDITION.
THE USS OLYMPIA WAS A PROTECTIVE
CRUISER
THAT WAS COMMISSIONED IN 1895 AND WAS USED BY THE US UNTIL 1922. THE SHIP BECAME FAMOUS DURING AND AFTER THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR IN 1898 SO I WOULD DATE THE PIECE TO AROUND THEN AND JUST A BIT AFTER.
THE SHIP IS NOW A MUSEUM IN PHILADELPHIA.
THE MIRROR IS MADE OF EMBOSSED TIN OR SOME TYPE OF THIN METAL OVER A WOOD BACK WITH 3 HOOKS FOR HANGING HATS OR COATS WITH A MIRROR MOUNTED IN THE CENTER. THE TIN HAS AWESOME GRAPHICS OF THE USS OLYMPIA WITH 2 SOLDIERS ON THE SIDES AND UNCLE SAM ON THE TOP. A BANNER ABOVE HIM READS OUT NATION'S PRIDE.
THE ACTUAL MIRROR DOES HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH SOME OF THE FINISH WEARING BUT HAS NO
MAJOR CHIPS AND NO CRACKS. THE MIRROR HAS AN AMAZING LOOK TO IT AND IS A GREAT PIECE OF RARE HISTORY.
THIS MIRROR WILL MAKE AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION OR AN AWESOME PIECE OF HISTORIC WALL ART. THE PIECE MEASURES APPROX. 18" SQUARE.
