PLEASE NOTE – I HAVE ADDED 16 CLOSE-UP PHOTOS OF THE MIRROR NOW – I COULDN’T DO THAT BEFORE BECAUSE IT WAS ON MY CAR IN MY STORAGE, BUT I HAVE BEEN AND FETCHED IT. PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY, BECAUSE THEY SHOW LOTS OF DETAIL. THE BACK OF THE MIRROR IS SLIGHTLY WORSE THAN I REMEMBERED (IT HAS SOME VERY SMALL DENTS AND THE CHROME HAS SOME AGEING), BUT THE GLASS AND THE THERMOMETER ARE EXCELLENT (ALTHOUGH THE THERMOMETER DOES NOT WORK), AND THE ARM IS ALMOST FREE OF PITTING – USUALLY THE POT METAL ON THESE IS TERRIBLY PITTED. Up for sale is my treasured JOMA thermometer mirror. It is not NOS but is fairly lightly used, with an excellent thermometer face and mirror glass, and just some very light pitting on the pot metal arm and some chewing up of the adjuster nut that holds it tight on the arm. It is currently on my 1937 Hudson Terraplane, which is in dry storage for the winter. The thermometer does not appear to work, as it is always at around 70 degrees. It is in good but not perfect condition, and I have repaired it myself by re-attaching some flaps and remaking a missing part and two of the small inner flaps using my’patent’ box-repairing technique, which is to run a very fine bead of PVA adhesive along the edge where the flap is missing, and re-attach it like that. This gives a very good, strong and almost-invisible repair. I have remade the two small missing flaps and a small piece at the top of the side using some spare cardboard and attached it to the inside using PVA – please see photos for details. However, there is another for sale that looks to be in worse condition than this one, and also has no box, and compared with that one mine seems pretty good value. Track Page Views With.
