MRS S A ALLENS HAIR RESTORER SHOP ADVERTISING FIGURE. 21ins tall. Large well modelled matt bisque ceramic advertising figure of an attractive long haired female leaning against a large promotional shield - lettered bottle in left hand. Naturalistically skin coloured with highlights, girl with golden locks, bottle and shield, flowers and lettering all picked out in red, dark brown, gold, green. This item was discovered by New Zealands Warren Roberts whilst in South Africa. He duly did a deal and packed it back to England to catch the 2002 UK SummerNational - hammer plus commission £2,860. Soon as it emerged from his well packed tea crate AB was duly won over! Black glass collector Steve Morton said - its more than a bottle its more than advertising you will never see another and its the best display piece you will ever see? Apart from original decades of dust, arm reglued, there is minor body and paint wear. Sticker on back records from the Alan Blakeman Collection.
