Description

This is a fantastic 4-piece etched mirror set showing part of the New York City skyline. It includes the Twin Towers, The Empire State Building, The Chrysler Building, gold leaf etched Brooklyn Bridge, and a portion of the Hudson Bay among others. It is said that the mirror set was commissioned by the Coca-Cola company in Atlanta as a gift to the three top Superviors at that time, all of which were coming up for retirement. It is also claimed that it is one of only three acid-etched mirror sets, produced by Johnnie Walker, but I don't know where to look for information to verify the statements. It was left hanging in the Supervisor's office at the downtown Coca-Cola building in Griffin, GA on Taylor Street until the new building owner had the building remodeled/renovated for business purposes at which time, he gave the mirror set to one of his employees. The employee is my cousin and he sold it to me. I have had it now for about two years or more and now I would like to know what it's worth.

Well, it looks like we've found all three of them if the production story rings true! Any idea how much it might be worth now?

I have this in my house in Ronkonkoma NY.  It has 6 glass panes, not four.  Please let me know if I can get a value and possible bidders on this piece.  Thank you.
