Any idea if this is an original mirror?

What does the backing look like... Is that an origianl frame....
I don't see the trade mark anywhere.... I'd say, for now anyway, from the 70s.

It's a Fantasy Peice from the 70's early 80's... Alot of these mirrors came out around that time made to look old. Truth is Coke made very few mirrors originally for advertising compared to tin/porcelain signs. The Few that are out there are typically smaller, reverse painted and if found ,very valuable.
This one is merely a "Decorator" price. If you like it for that purpose than of course pay what you feel is fair, but I wouldn't go more than 50-75 bucks for it unless you REALLY like it and money is no object!
Hope this helps.

If anyone wants a price guide, I have the 10th edition that I'm going to put on ebay. the 11th is the latest but you can basically just add $100-$200 to most items to get an idea of the new value... It's very informational if your pretty new to Coke stuff, or just want some basic knowledge... it was 28.00 new... I'll let it go for 10.00 plus shipping to a SMC member...
Let me know.

I saw it in the coke museum in Atlanta when I was there.. I almost bought it, but figured it would only get myself in trouble with it.. I am trying to resist this stuff for right now as I just don't have the time or place for more stuff. I keep tripping over things like my U-select it and a few other small odds and ends that I thought would be done right now....
