I bought this for my beautiful wife for our first anniversary coming up. The mirror is missing because I had to walk it down a couple of blocks on a dolly that the thrift store loaned me to bring it home. I love that it has this wonderful heart shaped frame that I could not walk away from it. I have tried to find more information about it and I am at my wits end.

Everything says it's from the early 1900s. We are in Arlington Heights, in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. Bought it from a wonderful local resale non-profit shop that often gets lots of nice stuff like this and sells it locally so I could see it being in a local home from the time it was bought to now as it's an upper middle class area and has been since the early 1900s

I love old catalogs and would Absolutely Love to find out where this is from, if it is from a Sears or Montgomery Ward? Is it local? I love to find out these mysteries and spend a lot of time helping people peg down bicycles and art for others, and kind of hope some of you fine folk could help me with this one. It is so special, and it screamed to me enough I had to get it and carry it home by hand.

Looks like we're surviving in a post-apocalyptic world where drone ships roam the skies, scanning for survivors. We've taken refuge at Six Flags because the roller coasters interfere with their sensors, so they can't get too close. Our only food sources are funnel cakes and pizza... or something like that. And somehow, life is O.K.
