Ad mirror, but with a weight

    I have some vintage ad mirrors. They're oval, have a picture and a company's info on the 'outside' and a mirror on the 'inside'.

    Some of them, though, are different in that the 'outside' has just a pretty picture and the 'inside' has weighted celluloid and has the advertising on that.

    What are these other things called?

    Thanks :)

    Sadly, using the "advertising weight" (without the quote marks) as a search term doesn't yield the relevant items. That's why I am hoping these items have a particular name...

    "antique celluloid promotional paperweight"?
