From the wonderfully weird world of medical advertising giveaways, we have this small, mid century drug advertisement for a drug called “Stimalose”
Made by the Sebastian Miniature company in Marblehead Mass. This little sculpture made of some form of composite plaster, depicts the effect of the drug in question with a sad person, turned into a happy person. After doing some research I believe this was a stimulant appetite suppressant by the Irwin Neilser drug company. (looks like it was pulled off the market in the 60s.)
This rare a little statue is in good, but not excellent condition as it does have some chips that have been colored in. Still, it looks and presents pretty well. See the last picture for the arrow pointing at a colored in chip.
Very Art Deco styling but copyright dated 1954 on the base.
