Original Durant Mirror

Miss April has here original Durant drivers side mirror.  Exterior mirrors were optional during 356 production, and they show in the accessories list offered at the time.
When looking for a correct, original mirror, the differences between original and reproduction were obvious.  The original Durant mirrors had stars with long points as shown below.  Reproductions varied in how the star looked, but never quite correct.  An extreme example of poor stars is shown below.  Photos below with the fake mirror on the right
