Rare old lithographed tin advertising box from the Crème Éclipse brand, remarkable for its large size and its emblematic design depicting the sun and moon. Unlike traditional shoe polish boxes intended for retail sale, this large capacity model was probably intended for storing products, accessories, or counter supplies at retailers.
