Rear View Mirrors
With my loose grasp on memory. I was wondering if there is any obvious identification marks to determine whether an interior mirror is OEM, or a reproduction. Thoughts on the subject are appreciated.

Re: Rear View Mirrors
Look for "Guide Glare Proof" on the top or bottom. "Made In USA" on other. Someone with more experience can weigh in. I do not think there are date codes like on the door sport mirrors.

Re: Rear View Mirrors
All I know is with the amount of deteriation in my 70's mirror glass, I'd say its original. That is about the only way I know how to judge them. If they look like crap, they are old.
