A rare and highly decorative early 20th century embossed tin advertising sign for Carr’s META leather polish. The design centres on the META bottle for black leather, flanked by boots and polishing tools, set against a rich olive green ground with cream and deep red detailing. The sign is deeply embossed, giving excellent depth and texture, and retains strong visual presence despite genuine age wear. Complete with its original hanging loop at the top. An evocative piece of British leather trade advertising, ideal for collectors of shoe polish, leather goods, or early shop display material.
