    Description
    This rare vintage store display
    was recently acquired at an estate auction of a longtime collector in Western Illinois. It is appealing, desirable, & highly collectible.
    As icons of retro Americana, these late 1940s displays possess a striking pop art appearance and appeal.
    This is an exceedingly scarce set of life-sized Buster Brown & his companion dog Tige. Each one is stencil-painted composite masonite. These easily recognizable store display figures were made for The Brown Shoe Co. of St. Louis, MO. Each figure consists of two pieces that have slots that slides &  locks the displays together when assembled. Both Buster and Tige have factory 2″ horizontal notches which hold the (often missing) colorful discs used to display shoes or hold shoe literature.
    The discs fit tight & each one has a diameter of 15.75".
    We present this item exactly as it was when acquired.
    No attempts to clean this piece have been made. There is some
    surface wear to the areas which dovetail together. Also,  there are some scattered scuffs, scratches, rub marks, & chips on different areas.
    These issues do not detract from the overall appeal of this vintage store display. Without the discs,
    Buster Brown measures 31″ w x 68″ h. & Tige measures 23″ w x 27.75″ h.
    This will make a great addition to any home or collection.
    The photos are an important part of
    the description. Please view all of them carefully before making a decision to place a bid. We will gladly provide additional photos if more are needed. If you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to message us.
