Together with a Meltonian Shoe Cream display figure, of a man in dress suit and with top hat in one hand, showing his well-polished shoes, on a stand shaped like a bar of Meltonian shoe cream. Circa 1930s-1940s.

{Approximate dimensions: 9" H. on 3" round base and 7 1/2 " H. x 4 3/4" W. x 2 1/4" D.}.
