But I don't know where else to post it lol. I got another Casablanca pub mirror, smaller than my other one. It was sort of by accident and by taking a risk. I put a bid in on the thing not really expecting much or knowing what to expect, it was a brand new seller with zero feedback so that was the risk aspect. I didn't get it on time, so I opened a case on it. Suddenly it came in yesterday with a note apologizing and saying she was sick. Why she couldn't send a message? IDK but I'm not complaining. I won it for $1 and shipping was $3.77 lol. Now I just need one with the "authorized dealer" embossment on it... Sorry for the less than great picture.  |

Very, very classy. Great price! How many firms copied this type and look? Besides Casablanca, I've seen Homestead and Old Jacksonville.

Cool find Cole! I see these from time to time on Ebay. I've also seen Casablanca model trucks and even a hand held fan! This brings up an interesting topic in itself which is all of the advertising and marketing these fan companies did. It seems that Casablanca did the most, as I've seen a lot of merchandise for them before. In fact one of my coworkers has a Casablanca back pack! I might have asked him how he got it but if he remembered it wasn't an interesting story seeing as I don't remember  |

Yes, they're usually pretty pricy on eBay, I can't believe I got this for less than $5. I also have the model truck, three magazine adverts I framed, the wall clock, and of course my larger mirror. I want one of those hand fans (usually too expensive for me to consider) and a number of the other magazine adverts. Would also love to find one of the old t-shirts too, but who knows if that'll ever show up.

Figure this fits in the existing thread rather than making a new one. I've only seen one of these T-shirts before on eBay (same design but I think it was yellow), then I came across this one pretty cheap and had to get it. I've heard of other versions of Casa shirts but have never seen them, they've all gotta be pretty scarce these days. I think it would fit me but I definitely do not foresee ever wearing it for preservation purposes.   |

Neat Cole! I've seen a lot of Casablanca memorabelia for sale on eBay, from clocks, to the mirrors you found, "hand fans," toy trucks, etc. Some of those things I've posted here before in the eBay thread. One of my co-workers has a Casablanca backpack, I'm not sure where he got it from since as far as I know he doesn't have any ties to the company.

Yep, for Casablanca I've got two mirrors, the clock, the truck, magazine adverts, and now the shirt. I'd like one of the hand fans, and would really love to find the Panama 5 mirror, as well as the large clock which I only recently learned existed:   |
