1860s Ornate Federal Patriotic Eagle Frame Cast Iron Civil War Era 8-1/2\" x 7\" For Sale

For your consideration is what I think is a cast iron frame with patriotic eagle in federal style. I am pretty sure this is civil war era, 1860\'s. It sold at an sale as civil war era. I am not an expert in this area so I will have to let the more knowledgeable decide the age, style, and the like. I think this piece is a picture frame and not a mirror. Please view the images carefully and make use of the zoom tool provided for close up detail.

To me, this looks like cast iron with a bronze overlay. The frame is very ornate with the eagle, cannon, rifle, sword, flag, stars, and more.Outer measurements are approximately 8-1/2\" x 7\" at thelongest/widest points. The oval display areameasures approximately 4-7/8\" x 3-7/8\" of a picture.

Condition: To me, the frame looks to be in very nice condition overall for its age with normal age wear one would expect to see.On the bottom center, there is lightly scratched words, Ma & Pa -it would have been nice to have seen that photograph. I do not know if the glass is original although it is thick and has a few edge chips thatare not visible from the front. I looked online and could not find a frame exactly likethis frame - it is reallypacked with patriotic symbols. As always, questions and knowledged are welcomed and appreciated.
