Description
CACHOU LAJAUNIE -c.1900
Rare original lithographed brass advertising case. Approx. 5.5 cm long.
Good colours, good shine, sewing kit and tassel missing. The pictorial layer has deteriorated.
Created in 1880 by the pharmacist Leon Lajaunie, Cachou Lajaunie is a black liquorice pastille, presented in its emblematic round yellow tin.
Taken over by the Sirven brothers in 1904, the brand was widely distributed in tobacconists' shops and very early on developed innovative advertising, notably with Leonetto Cappiello's posters.
Having become a symbol of Toulouse, the product spanned the XXᵉ century before ceasing production in 2024.
Haute-Garonne/Occitania
