Rare Antique Pat 1871 Stove Polish Paste Paper Labld, Hinged LID Wd Box Ad Crate
9″ Height x 11 ¾” Width x 8 ½ Depth. This incredible and quite early example of Ame ri can mercantile advertising, was produced after the conclusion of the US Civil War. It offered black stove polish to the burgeoning Ame ri can middle class, who enjoyed the spoils of the Union victory after the fratricidal war and newfound, often exponential wealth from the bounty provided by the Ame ri can industrial revolution. In many Victorian households, be they patrician or the newly emerging Ame ri can middle-class, a lady of good repute and conscientious caretaker of a proper Victorian household, would need to make sure the often numerous coal and wood burning stoves located throughout a home would be kept tidy and polished to a uniform, blackened finish. A truly splendid, wonderful wood box crate. Good to Very Good overall antique condition. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Decorative Collectibles\Boxes, Jars & Tins”. The seller is “modsanctuary” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.
