Illuminated countertop advertising sign for The Crawford Shoe, featuring the brand's iconic gentleman-and-dog graphic rendered on a glass panel within an ornate gilt metal frame. The sign is mounted on a cast metal pedestal base with geometric detailing, designed for placement on a shoe counter or display case where it would command attention at eye level. When powered, the sign flashes on and off rather than maintaining a steady glow-an intentional attention-grabbing effect typical of early electric advertising displays.
Chas. A. Eaton Co. was a Massachusetts-based manufacturer specializing in illuminated advertising signs and fixtures during the early 20th century, supplying shoe companies and retailers with electric display pieces as storefront and in-store lighting became increasingly common.
