Lot 234:
Vintage Pepsi-Cola Gibson Girl Advertising Mirror Sign
Sold for: $25
Description
A late 20th-century promotional advertising mirror for Pepsi-Cola, designed as a nostalgic reproduction of early 20th-century marketing graphics. The mirror features reverse-printed graphics against a deep blue background framed by ornate cream-colored scrollwork. The central design displays a large Pepsi-Cola script logo above a stylized red banner reading A NICKEL DRINK WORTH A DIME. An oval vignette on the left depicts a woman in Edwardian-era attire, including a green gown and a feathered hat, holding a glass of soda. The bottom corners are accented with stylized 5 cent markers. The piece is mounted in a molded wood frame with a composite board backing secured by staples. The reverse side is equipped with a plastic-coated hanging wire and bears a black ink stamp reading BM118.
Condition report:
The mirror and internal graphics appear to be in good condition, retaining vibrant colors with no significant silvering loss or fading. The wooden frame exhibits minor surface dust and light wear consistent with age and previous display. The backing board and hanging hardware remain intact.
