THIS COCA COLA MIRROR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT WAS PURCHASED AT A "MGM GRAND" AUCTION. THE PLAQUE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER SAYS "MGM STUDIO-PROPERTY-CULVER CITY CAL". IT MEASURES APPROX 2-1/2 (W) X 3-1/2 (T). VERY HEAVY THICK GLASS. WHERE CAN I FIND INFO ABOUT THIS ITEM?

Coca Cola SignsFew brands have been as effectively and aggressively marketed as Coca-Cola,…
These mirrors were produced by the thousands in the 70's and 80's. It is a "fantasy" item because no original Coca-Cola mirror like this ever existed. Its value is nothing as an authentic Coca-Cola item. It is purely as a decorator item.
In your opinion, why the MGM GRAND plaque?
When someone is making a "fake" item they put anything on it to enhance its value.
As and example, there are millions of "1933 worlds fair" knives out there that are fake as welll - produced in the late 70's.
The person I got this from actually purchased it at a MGM Auction in Las Vegas. I thought perhaps it was a prop or something. Thanks for your info.
Lots of large corporations put tags on everything they buy. I've seen paper mills tag desk lamps.
