Excellent. The magic mirror is truly magic! Breathe on it and it says Dr Sheldon's New Discovery for Coughs and Colds - and I have a cold! Wow! In all seriousness, the surface does have an effect where lettering does show up when the glass is fogged, it is very hard to see in places, but almost certainly says what I suggested earlier. Some stain in places. Some of the gold highlight has nicks to it, but it is nearly all complete. Quite a superb piece of magical advertising! Grade: N/A Estimate: $$75.00 - $100.00
