For the collector of French metal advertising signs, a rare round ad from the very early 1900s, which reads \"Eclipse polish, with wax - waterproof, without acid -Paris, Lyon - General company of the French polishing products\".

The Crème Eclipse was manufactured by the Société Générale des Cirages Français, founded in 1881 in Lyon. Several kinds of polish were available under the name Eclipse to make both shoes and metals shine.

Eclipse disappeared in the 1940s after the Société Générale des Cirages Français was acquired by Lion Noir, another manufacturer of polish.

The patina and obvious use adds to the history of this 100-year old sign! Some small holes from being nailed to a wall by shop owners over time. Measures 13.25 inches in diameter. Shipped within the USA only. International buyer must use Global Shipping program.
