My husband and I recently bought a home and we found this mirror. I have been looking online trying to find someone anyone that may be able to tell me more about it. I have only found one other place online that had this exact mirror and all their ad said was that they sold it in 2010. I have not been able to get any more information from them than that. Can anyone tell me more about this mirror ?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you have a modern decorator item.
Scott
scottvez,
Can you explain more on how or why you say it is a modern decorator item?
Thanks,
kdwen
Experience in seeing thousands of these over the last 30 years.
Do an ebay search for "coca cola mirror" and you will see the same style and appearance of mirrors (may even find your mirror) that don't sell or bring very little money.
They have no collector value.

I did look on Ebay and did not find this mirror at all. Found a lot of mirrors that had different artwork on them but that was it. Then I found this site and was thinking maybe someone could tell me more about it. Like I said when I uploaded the picture I have only found one other place that has sold the mirror and that was back in 2010 but when I tried emailing the company I got the email back saying the address was no longer active. I do not know much about collecting things but if this particular one is as rare as it seems to be, I would think it would bring in more $$$ than some of the others I have seen. especially when their seems to be an overabundance of the others. But anyways, thank you for the help..
I just did a quick search myself-- here is your mirror-- NO buyer at $60 with free shipping:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&hash=item4ab657d5ce&item=320886789582&nma=true&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&rt=nc&si=QBLqjx%252BulUsxsOSIF%252BLr32RzJgU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
If you compare your mirror to the numerous coke mirrors on ebay-- they have a lot in common. While the scene or slogan may differ, the graphics are similar and most are housed in cheap modern frames.
Even if your mirror were the only one made of that style, the fact remains that it is a Fantasy piece and would still have no collector value.
