P&L] Ultralight Electric Hand Mirror. New Haven: Petrie & Lewis (P&L), ca. 1930. Metal hand mirror with internal battery-powered light. Manufactured and invented by J.A. Petrie. 12” long. White paint chipped; good. Petrie, an ardent magic fan, was an inventor of several practical objects, including latches for car doors, and one of the first automatic starters for automobiles. This mirror is one such invention, and was modeled on another P&L product, the Ultralight flash light.
