A celluloid folding shaving mirror, made in a tortoise shell pattern. This vintage mirror folds for storage to 2 ¼ tall. When opened for use it is 5 ½ across by 8 ½ deep by 7 tall. It comes with the original milk glass bowl, which is in perfect condition. The celluloid is free from cracks, just some minor scratches and wear to the bottom and very slight roughness to the edges from use. The mirror is in good condition, with no breaks but there is a half arch marked on the surface, from being closed all these years and resting on the bowl. The hinges have a little surface rust on them, but they all work very well. A very nice example of a vintage mirror.
