DESCRIPTION: This is an old, large, pocket, purse, or desk top advertising mirror. It is marked “American Automobile Insurance Company St. Louis Milwaukee Branch Office 373 Broadway” and “L.A.Harris, President”. On the edge, it is marked “Parisian Nov. Co. Chicago”. It pictures an eagle on a shield in front of a wood spoked wheel, and may have been made in the 1920’s, or possibly earlier. MATERIALS: Celluloid and metal with glass mirror. DIMENSIONS: Measures about 3-3/8 inches in diameter. CONDITION: Overall in GOOD CONDITION. It was probably carried in a pocket or purse for some years, and has wear, but has held up well. The mirror has lost some of its backing, but is still useable. If you collect antique advertising or pocket mirrors, this will be a nice addition to your collection. FYI: Our pictures are taken under bright incandescent camera lighting or using a flash that sometimes fades out the colors or makes them appear brighter. This also helps to show all distinguishing features and possible flaws on the item. Most of our antiques and collectibles have much darker, deeper, richer colors than appear in some of our photos, especially reds that tend to turn orange in appearance. Most of the items are photographed on a solid black or bright white background. If you have a question about the color of this item, please feel read more
