Three superb tins of waterproof cream shoe polish from the renowned brand "Lion Noir," in shades of red and orange , emblematic of early 20th-century industrial advertising. Illustrated with a lion in a heraldic pose, these metal tins with a twist-lock closure feature striking black typography on an orange background. Produced in Montrouge near Paris, they were used to package shoe polish for all types of leather. This set includes three distinct colors and two sizes: one large tin measuring 8 cm and two smaller ones measuring 6.5 cm, all clearly legible despite slight signs of wear. Iconic pieces for collectors of vintage packaging, French advertising memorabilia, or toiletries.
