Item Description
I have never come across another of these mirrors nor any advertising materials for Saratoga Chips at all. Which maybe isn't to surprising considering it is a west coast company. Ernest G Williams stated the Saratoga Potato chip co. in 1903 with a 0 investment. He passed in 1911 and his wife and eventually to sons ran the business successfully. Bettie Williams expanded business back in 1920 with the Saratoga Chips product. Business was so good they built two more factories on the west coast in the 30's. The mirror shows an image of the factory (in Seatle I think) and is in pretty rough shape, however it is stable and I will wrap up tight for shipping. The thermometer still works and the metal frame is made of one metal strip bent at 90 degree angles. Back has minor water staining and is marked as I see another 30's coca cola mirror is listed here on ebay. Paper tag on back says "Manufactured by Advertising Novelty company Newton Iowa." A business listing has this company in Newton as early as 1911.
