A great functional mirror or a collectible cruise memento. As a vintage item, it shows signs of use, so please review all photos as they form part of the listing description.

It likely dates from the 1950s to 1970s. This was a period when travel souvenirs, like compacts, were common on cruise ships and ferries, and the P&O brand was widely associated with luxury and leisure travel. The engine-turned detailing on the back and the black-and-gold colour scheme also align with mid-century design trends, which were popular in this era.
