I think this big-un is the last of my bar mirrors, at least for the moment... ;-) Measuring in at a hearty 19" x 25", it advertises four varieties of MARTELL CONGAC with individual clock faces representing the world cities of Paris [V.S.], Los Angeles [V.S.O.P.], Tokyo [CORDON RUBIE], and New York [CORDON BLEU]. Like most of my others, it dates from the late 1980's or so but this one doesn't have an actual date on it.
It also features a 'textured/layered' design, in that the clock faces are painted onto the backside of the mirror along with the silvering, while the fancy blue-fabric 'ribbon stripe' and MARTELL name/crest (etc) are printed/patterned (paper?) backgrounds fastened behind the glass and seen thru 'clear spots' in it. Small print at its front bottom reads "MARTELL CONGNAC HOUSE OF SEAGRAM 40% ALCOHOL BY VOLUME (80 PROOF) NEW YORK, N.Y.". The clock movements themselves are typical AA battery-operated units.
One other note I can add about this one...I'm almost guessing they weren't made (or at least *used*) in large numbers, because (practically speaking) it is an ABSOLUTE PITA to **CLEAN** the thing, what with 4 sets of little fragile clock-hands poking outta its front...?? <LOL>
Ahh the natural state ........
Arkansas is a southern U.S. state bordering the Mississippi River. It's known for its abundant park and wilderness areas, with terrain encompassing mountains, caves, rivers and hot springs. The rugged Ozarks region in its northwest has hiking trails and limestone caves such as Blanchard Springs Caverns. Its capital, Little Rock, hosts the Clinton Presidential Center, housing Bill Clinton’s presidential archives...

<ding><ding><ding> MyCountry -- that's the place??!! :-) :-) :-) Though we occasionally get a 'bad rap' (for assorted reasons, sometimes including quite valid ones...) its otherwise a gorgeous State to live in.
And the profile pic is WODA the chosen kitty, inspector general, and Supreme Ruler of my home -- who no doubt is thoroughly convinced that I purchased, furnished, and continue to maintain it for HIS exclusive comfort and pleasure. Thankfully, he ever-so-graciously allows me to co-habitate it along with his Royal Blackness, as long as the kibbles-dish is never empty, the dinner dish arrives on time every day, and 'the box' gets 'flushed' every evening... <lol>
Thanks SO much for your kind comment MyCountry -- and also to purvis, fortapache, Brunswick, and buckethead for stopping by and tapping the <love it> button!!
Wow -- this mirror got popular again in the last couple days?! MORE THANKS to roddyq, Newfld, Vynil33rpm, & Bruce99 for your <love it>s for it!! :-) :-) :-)
