Deco Mirror From The Original Flamingo Casino In Vegas

850

Here for your consideration is a chance of a lifetime to own a Art Deco blue mirror from the Nevada Flamingo casino. This was the purchase of a lifetime for me. A friend of mine who works at the Flamingo gave me a call one day to tell me they were selling off some stuff that had been in storage for years. Most of it was linens, lighting, furniture, etc., but among the stash were these 42 x 24 inch high quality beveled mirrors, some blue and some pink that once hung in cooperate offices and hallways I'm told before extensive remodeling years ago. Possibly a few of the "whale" suites for high rollers. They are of unbelievable quality with each piece on the perimeter being highly beveled to give off fantastic refraction. I hate to think how much these cost to be made, even back in those days. On the back there is a red stamp that says "Property of Flamingo Hilton - Not to be Removed. I don't know if "Bugsy" Siegal hung these himself but I'd like to think he primped a little in front of them while adjusting his tie or combing his hair. Condition is very nice as they have been wrapped up in bed covers all these years in storage but they do show some small signs of age. A tiny little no harm scratch here and there. They are old and original and that is just age and to be expected.. T Shipping is a little difficult and can be done blanket wrapped with North American Van lines. But I have found a commercial crating company that will crate them up for a very reasonable price of $65 each with 4" of foam sheet and then plywood in a custom container. I can send with a company called URL FOR $90 which is very reasonable for something that large weighing over 50 pounds when crated. Christmas is just around the corned,would make a wonderful gift, in pink or blue.
