Poll-Parrot Shoes was a popular children's brand launched in 1925 by Paul Parrot in St. Louis. Known for its parrot mascot and catchy advertising, it thrived on promotions like radio shows and sponsorships such as on Howdy Doody - making them a favorite well into the mid-20th century. Eventually acquired by International Shoe Company, Poll-Parrot eventually faded, with the brand generally considered defunct by the 1980s. However, its advertising and nostalgia persisted, representing a significant part of mid-century childhood footwear marketing.
This mirror is mostly likely from the company’s early inception, featuring a concave and convex wavy glass mirror, reverse acid-etched lettering, and a sinuously curved wood frame and backing. Its hanging system is currently 2 D-ring hooks with a picture wire. Is in good overall condition commensurate with its age.
