Style I Rear View Mirror
 

I have actual photos of all the Model A Rear View Mirrors as depicted in drawings within the MARC/MAFCA Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards. The only one I am in need of is Style I...it is no where to be found.
So...Anyone?
Thanks.

How about posting some of the pictures of the mirrors you have...just to wet our appetites'

On a side note concerning mirrors: I like to tell people that I still have the original black and white rearview mirror

I looked up Hangtown as appears on your Avatar but couldn't find it. I found Placerville and El Dorado and one building displaying the name. Plus George hanging from a building in Placerville but no Hangtown??

Hangtown is Placerville, I'll give you two guesses why, and the first guess don't count

Hi Guys, yes, "Hangtown" was actually a nickname for Placerville many years ago. Placerville has a rich history, literally, as it was a very integral part of the gold rush that started in Coloma in 1849. Placerville was also called "Dry Diggins" for a period of time.
You can read a short history here - https://www.historicplacerville.com/...-old-hangtown/
John Studebaker made wheelbarrows in this town to supply the miners, and eventually took his money and invested with his brothers in Indiana. They opened a blacksmith shop and made wagons. They eventually started the Studebaker automobile company.

I'll try to post a couple of photos of some mirrors tomorrow.
