Sorry if this doesn't belong here but with the knowledge here I thought someone might know. Have this mirror and not a clue what it might have came on.
Also a guess of what it be worth as have a long list of T items I need. Thanks, Damp.

Part II - lets see the mirror side & that will assist in determining value.

For what it's worth (no pun intended) I have a similar one in that the tightening mechanism is that same cast iron wheel like spokes (4) on a power boat steering wheel, and with very good glass and silvering. Paid $40.00 for it at a swap meet and was glad to get it for the passenger side of my '26 Touring as it almost perfectly matched in style, condition, shape and "patina", the one that was already on the drivers side.
(.........did a lot of truck driving in my younger days and because of what I got used to in driving all types of trucks back then, I have dual outside mirrors on everything I drive!)

It looks very much like the side mirror on our 1922 Coupe with the doors that open at the front. After the mirror is adjusted properly so that I can see what is behind me, I can swing the door open,and the door misses the mirror by about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
That type of mirror works well on the early coupes.
When I bought the 1922 Coupe and took it for the first ride, I did not feel comfortable not having a side mirror to see who is coming up behind me. I had the mirror hanging on a nail in the basement for many years waiting for the "right car".

I searched for a number of years for a closed car mirror or just the bracket that was available through Western Auto Parts & the like back in the day to utilize some of the open car mirrors available . I ended up fabricating my own to mount this oval mirror onto our '19 Centerdoor & being the Centerdoor body widens out, it actually is quite useful.
