A decorative Bassett mirror.

Bassett Mirror Info?We recently became the owners of this very large 60" L x 38" W ornate mirror. It needs cleaned but I am trying to determine its style, age and possibly any thoughts as to value. The sticker on the back says Bassett Mirror Co, Inc. 6353-721 28x365. There is also a "Made in China" sticker so I think it was probably made within the last 30 - 40 years but I am unable to locate any similar mirror online. Any thoughts/would be appreciated. I have contacted Bassett as to style, etc., but have received no reply as of yet.

Hoover Carpet Cleaner Won't Stay Upright?I just bought a brand new Hoover pro clean pet carpet cleaner. The problem is I took it out of the box and it won't stay standing upright? Is there something that I'm missing here? Seems like something's either missing to keep it locked into place or something's in the way of it to lock.
