Description
A countertop advertising display rack for Wagner Lockheed hydraulic brake repair kits.

The header panel displays a central red and white oval with a blue banner reading Wagner Hydraulic Brake Repair Kits Lockheed, flanked by text advertising replacement parts for master and wheel cylinders. The side panels include graphics of a brake fluid can labeled Wagner Lockheed Hydraulic Brake Fluid 21 and text emphasizing safety and maximum brake performance. The display is equipped with ten vertical wire dividers intended to organize packaged repair kits. The front bottom edge is marked with the manufacturer name and address: Wagner Electric Corporation, 6400 Plymouth Avenue, Saint Louis 14, Mo., U.S.A. The presence of the postal zone code Saint Louis 14 indicates a mid-20th-century production date, likely from the late 1940s to the 1950s.
