Pretty advertising tin box with lithographed design for the famous Crème Éclipse, a product intended for the care and waterproofing of leather shoes. Its decoration is dominated by the emblematic eclipsed moon face that contributed to the brand's visual success. The mentions "Paris - Lyon", "Waterproof" and "Acid-free" are typical early 20th-century commercial arguments. Its original metal clasp is still present, which is a valuable asset for this type of pocket packaging.
