Hi everyone, this is my first post. I just picked this up a few weeks ago and I'm wondering if this is an authentic Coke piece or some kind of reproduction. It measures 15.5" x 9" and shows some age. I think it looks great, I look forward to learning more about it! Thanks.
Very Nice sign. It's right.

Thanks Daddy_Nobucks, somehow I never found the live auctioneers post, that's incredibly helpful.
The reverse painted mirrors from the 30's are among my favorite Coca-Cola signs. They are not easy to come by. Haven't seen this one in any of the books, so might be a truly scarce one. I have one similar, maybe even same maker, I'll post it tomorrow. I have another that is a custom piece with an sweet decal, shows how they attached the hanger with the drilled through deco style bolts on these old mirrors.

I would still love to see your other mirror Daddy_Nobucks. I checked out your previous show and tell and see the similarities. This one is in great shape in comparison to the one on live auctioneers. Thanks again for the info!
