Actually I've just been told that the mirror is in storage. Thanks again for the info. So with  the mirror it could be worth more.

Yes !! Incomplete items are 1/2 or less the value of an item with all its correct parts !!

It would be worth your while to get it re-glazed with a mirror...but bear in mind it would be better if it was one that is like whats already there...but if you decide to sell with the broken mirror...then expect to lose at least 30/40%
