c. 1950s; Yankee Products Corp. - Norwalk, CT, USA
Original countertop display stand featuring a chrome twin-arm fender/body-mount automotive mirror, presented on its factory-painted orange steel base with black sheet-metal backing plate. This example retains its original printed display card advertising the "Twin Arm Fender-Body-Mount Mirror," part of Yankee's DUET Series, highlighting adjustability and guaranteed performance. The sculptural chrome arms and rounded mirror housing exemplify mid-century automotive accessory design, balancing streamlined form with mechanical clarity. Designed for parts counters and auto supply stores, the stand allowed customers to inspect the mirror's range of motion and construction before purchase, making it as much a sales tool as a functional object.
Yankee Products Corp., founded in Connecticut in the early 20th century, became a major American manufacturer of automotive accessories, particularly mirrors and lighting, supplying dealerships and aftermarket retailers nationwide during the postwar automotive boom.
