Item Description
2.75” tall. We will describe from top to bottom. While the paper under the cello is printed, all words were hand-lettered. On the top curl are the words “U.S. Presidents” with text not showing from front view. Face of the mirror depicts all presidents from Washington through FDR who is pictured at upper center flanked by a pair of American flags with the word “President” across his shoulder and the word “Roosevelt” beneath his photo. Beneath this is photo of “White House” and beneath this is photo of “U.S. Capitol.” Scattered around the border of the mirror are repeating tiny images of a flying eagle with flag bunting below. At the very bottom of the mirror partially showing from the front and partially showing only on the curl is the inscription “Made In USA/©1933 F.A. Pribyl/Washington D.C./Souvenir Co.” Tiny and typical surface wear shows only in reflected light. Displays Mint. Only example we’ve seen.
