Up for bid is a new in the box Passing Eye mirror.  Pretty cool accessory.  Glass looks perfect, chrome is very nice though it does have some very slight markings on it, probably made that way.   Box has installation instructions, in the box it has the mounting pad and a small sheet of instructions.  The mounting pad does not appear to be rubber but a hard fiber or paper material.  Not sure.

Given its age, the box is in amazing condition.  Does have a few dents and slight tears.  The glue has given up holding the box together, but hey it's been 67 years or so.

On the box it  has the following:
"LOOK AHEAD - PASS WITH SAFETY"
"FORWARD VIEW MIRROR"
"THE NATION'S NEWEST - SMARTEST - AUTOMOTIVE ACCESSORY"
"PRICE $5.95 FAIR TRADE"
"NOTE: Special installation is required to mount the "Passing Eye" on the following automobiles:
   '49 Buick - Cadillac
   '49 Chevrolet Deluxe
   '49 Packard Super and Custom
   'Latest Model Oldsmobiles"
"MANUFACTURED BY PASSING EYE, INC. KENOSHA, WISC."

There are several of these for sale on ebay but finding one that is NOS is an extremely rare find.

About Me:
Let me start out by saying that I am not a business. I have a full time job that is not ebay and just do this in my not-so-spare time to clean out my garage and to help my friend clean out his garage. I try to do my best to let you know that I received your payment and I try to ship your item as quickly as possible but sometimes life gets in the way. Hopefully you will understand and cut me some slack. If not, please don't bid on my auctions as I really do not need your money or the stress of getting a neutral or negative feedback.

The Stupid Fine Print:
I wish that I did not have to put all of this in my description but it seems that for some people I need to explain the obvious. Please read what is below because it will save us both a lot of time and energy.

I am not an expert in everything that I sell, but I try to describe my items to the best of my knowledge and as accurately as possible. I put in my listing what I believe to be the correct identification and application for the item but I have limited resources and sometimes there are mistakes. Before you bid, please do your own research by checking my accuracy by reviewing the numbers and the picture yourself to be sure that the item is what you need. This is being sold "AS IS", what you see is what you are bidding on so please ask any and all questions before you bid as all sales are final and there are no refunds. Remember, nobody is forcing you to bid.

I have listed that I do not accept returns but if I missed something or you ask me a question and you don't think that I answered it correctly, I will accept a return.  Just email me and let me know what is up so I can work with you.

Shipping Information:
Winning bidder pays for shipping by Priority Mail or UPS from zip code 98042. Initial contact is expected to be within 3 days, payment expected within ten days after close of auction or I may offer this item to the next highest bidder. Will ship in a day or two on receipt of payment.  Local pickup is also available or delivery to local swap meets may be an option so email me to discuss.

Shipping and Handling Time:
I have selected 10 days for a handling time because I am required by ebay to select something.  The 10  days is the most I would ever take but it is almost always faster.  When I ship via the Post Office it typically takes about 2-3 days and with UPS I only ship on every other Mondays and most Tuesdays, on my way home from work, so the shipping time will depend on when I receive your payment.

Non-US Sales Information:
Shipping overseas takes time so please be patient as it has to clear your customs.  Also, the ebay international shipping calculator is not always accurate so if it is completely off I will send you a partial shipping refund.

Feedback Information:
Due to the large discrepancy between the number of feedbacks that I have left and number that I have received, I will only leave feedback on a transaction once the buyer has left feedback. Remember, feedbacks benefit both the buyer and the seller.

The Last Information:
Any questions? Need additional pictures to help you decide? Please email me at least 24 hours before the end of the auction to ensure a reply.

By bidding on this auction you agree to the above.

I will try to send you an ebay invoice within 24 hours after the auction is over. If you do not hear from me in a day or so after the auction is over, check your email system spam filter or computer because I will be trying to contact you.

No COD.

If I have not heard from you in 3 days or received your payment within 10 days after the auction is over I will be sending you an ebay payment reminder using the ebay dispute system. This will be followed by an unpaid item alert filed with ebay and I will be leaving negative feedback. Sorry about all of this but I am getting tired with being strung out for weeks after the auction is over by buyers that just cannot seem to get their act together. You know who you are.

If something does come up and you cannot get payment to me within the 10 days, email me and let me know. I am a reasonable guy if you just talk to me and let me know what's going on.

Thanks For Looking!
