Vintage Coors Beer Mirror 1980


 



This  vintage 1980  Coors Bar Mirror came out of a bar in upper state New York  and somehow managed to find it's way to London.This is the real thing  that hung behind the bar  and measures in at just over 16 inches by 26 inches . The wooden frame is scratched and has a hole in  each corner ,let's just say it was nailed to the wall.

 
 The mirror itself is in excellent condition  and is  rich  in detail.This is truly a very hard Coors piece to find   and reads "Brewed with pure Rocky Mountain Spring Water"
