  Dinah bank
  Castiron coin bank made to resemble blackface caricature of a black person woman. The figure has an arm outstretched which acts as a lever. When raised, the arm 'opens' the figure's mouth (by removing the 'tongue') and causes its eyes to roll back in its head. The figure wears a gold dress, gold earrings, and a gold necklace, and has wide red lips and white teeth. Different to the previous coin bank, this figure's hand has space for a coin, and when raised to the mouth, it appears that a coin placed in the hand would slide directly into the mouth. On the back is stamped the name "Dinah" and on the bottom is imprinted "J.E.Stevens.1890.PAT103."

  Plunoir Metal Polish Box
  Cardboard box. Printed across the four long panels is the same cartoon black woman found on the Samva bottle, also holding a Samva bottle and pointing to the Plunoir label, also in both French and English. There are instructions on either end of the image, one in French and one in Dutch. Inside the box is the full tube of Plunoir. On the top and bottom of the box are the words "in tubes" in French and Dutch.

  Samva metal polish bottle
  Cylindrical metal bottle. On the lid is stamped the word "PATENT." The bottle is wrapped in paper with a caricatured black woman holding another bottle of Samva Brut. With her other hand she points to the text along the bottom of the paper: "SAMVA VOOR METALEN" on one side, and on the other, "SAMVA POUR METAUX." The French side has a stain over the word "Metaux," rendering it difficult to read. In a banner by the woman's head, the polish brands itself "No. 1." Between the Dutch and French sides, a small banner reads as follows: "SAMVA tel. 3321.60 Etterbeek - Av. de la Chasse - 64 - Jachtlaan." Along the top of the illustration are the words "Bouchage, breveté" in French and "Berreveteerd, stopmiddel" in Dutch.
