Vintage VAT 69 GOLD Pub Mirror
This is a rectangular vintage advertising pub mirror for VAT 69 GOLD '14 Kt. Scotch' Blended Scotch Whisky. The piece features a central mirrored field shaped like a stylized bottle or shield, outlined in a gold-tone border. The typography is printed directly onto the glass, featuring the prominent 'VAT 69' in a heavy stencil-style black font, 'GOLD' in a metallic gold font, and '14 Kt. Scotch' in a serif black typeface at the bottom. The mirror is housed in a thin, gold-toned metallic or foil-wrapped wooden frame. Stylistically, this item dates to the mid-to-late 20th century, likely the 1970s or 1980s, when liquor brand mirrors were common bar decor. Condition issues include visible oxidation and silvering loss (desilvering) in the top corners and along the edges of the mirrored surface, creating a darkened patina. The frame shows significant wear, including scratches, pitting, and possible minor denting on the right vertical edge and bottom corners. There is also visible dust accumulation and smudging on the glass surface. The overall craftsmanship is commercial grade for point-of-sale advertising.
