Early Catalin Advertising Box with Statue
This very unusual advertising piece is for FREO Dicarbonsil Antacid. It features an early plastic (catalin ?) box with sliding drawer with a metal statue on the top. On the outside of the drawer is an advertising blub for the product plus "Original Sculpture by Saunders Schultz." Schultz is a St. Louis sculptor better know for his outdoor installations. The entire piece measures 7" tall. Please note there are areas of glue residue throughout the "FREO" faceplate. I have not removed them for fear of wearing the gold lettering off.
