See photos for information. I have done the best I could in describing the item contents. Ask any questions before offerding.
You will receive exactly what is shown in the listing. This for just for the TWO SIDE MIRRORS as shown.
This item appears to be a classic chrome bullet-style or torpedo-style exterior side-view mirror, commonly used on vintage, classic, or custom hot rod vehicles.No, it is not a reproduction. If it is physically engraved or stamped with \"Talbot & Co. Berlin\", you have a genuine factory-original vintage piece.
How Your Mirrors Fit Into This TimelineBecause your mirror has no dot at all—and is instead cleanly engraved directly into the metal with \"Talbot & Co. Berlin\"—it is a \"Pre-Green Dot\" mirror.This means it predates both versions:
- It was manufactured in the 1950s or early 1960s, before the company introduced plastic logo inserts.
- To collectors, \"Pre-Dot\" mirrors with stamped metal logos are actually the most valuable and rarest of all versions, as they are the only ones historically correct for ultra-high-end 1950s cars like the Porsche 356, Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, or Aston Martin DB4.
- Why the \"89-902\" Number Caused AmbiguityThe casting number 89-902 is used by California Pony Cars (CPC) on their modern Talbot Jr. replica lines. However, modern reproduction companies are legally prohibited from stamping trademarked terms like \"Talbot & Co. Berlin\" directly into the chrome metal housing. The presence of the authentic factory engraving overrides any catalog/casting numbers and certifies that yours is a highly prized German original.
- One mirror is still in the plastic packing inside the box. The second mirror was opened and inside the small box. See all photos for a few tiny imperfections.
Original Vintage Talbot Berlin Mirrors - An authentic, original vintage Talbot Berlinoriginal pieces in excellent condition easily command $350 to $450+ each ($700-$900 for the pair),while ultra-rare, pristine New-Old-Stock (NOS) pairs in their original vintage packaging can clear $1,000-$1200+ to high-end restorers.
I would not throw away that box (two boxes) or manual (front English, back German). For an old part like this, the packaging and documentation are a significant part of the collectible appeal. The combination of original boxes + an original manualmakes your set considerably more interesting than a loose pair of old mirrors.All offers binding.No returns.No refunds.
