Vintage Cire C wax polish advertising tin in lithographed sheet metal, featuring a small character in a green outfit, wearing brush-shoes and holding a tin of the product. Its green and salmon-pink design combines the French inscriptions "Encaustique" and "Nettoie et cire" with their Dutch equivalents "Boenwas" and "Reinigt en boent". The rim features the claims "Aucune trace de pas" (No footprint marks) and "Extra légère – La meilleure" (Extra light – The best). A lovely tin with whimsical graphics, to display in a collection of vintage advertisements or a showcase dedicated to old-fashioned cleaning products.
