DescriptionA rear-surface glass mirror, round, is attached to a red brass disk with knurled edges. The disk screws into a round bracket and freely rotates on it. The bracket also has knurled edges. It has two slotted holes for attaching the device to a pair of pins or bolts.
Found with the mirror is a red brass mounting device or stand with tip-tilt screws between the base and middle plate, and x-y adjustment screws on the middle plate. The base has similar slotted holes as the mirror assembly does. The top plate is a flat disk that screws onto the mounted middle plate. The edges of the base and screws are knurled.
