Pulp?  Lots of nice ranges to choose from.

Or Northstart 'In Her Majesty's Name'`

Also Copplestone and Artizan for generic end of WWI to end of WWII civilian minis (the latter's 'Thrilling Tales' range is useful). Foundry's minis are good if you want a more Cthulhu by gaslight vibe. There'a also 1st Corps offerings and Sloppy Jalopy's VBCW range, all have interesting and useful minis for lovecraftian adventuring. Statuesque minis have some great looking figures which are suitable too.

Pulp Figures by Bob Murch, Copplestone Castings (NorthStar), Pulp Alley Minis and Artizan, should give you everything you could want.

Bearshead Miniatures has just finished a kickstarter for HP Lovecraft - link (https://www.bearsheadminis.com/store/c16/Weird_Science_Kickstarter.html)

Very nice figures and the one without the Star Spawn puppy would make a good investigator

"Shug McClure" is pretty good too.  The one with a rifle is probably more useful but currently out of stock, but the spear version's viable too.  I remember we had one character in an old campaign who dragged around an old spear anywhere he could get away with it.  He'd had a little bit of a mental collapse and decided it was the Spear of Longinus and his good luck charm.  Last story arc of the game wound up with us running into 1920s Casca himself (the GM was a big fan of the books) and we were greatly surprised when he recognized his old poking stick.  Worked pretty well on the Second Coming of Nyarlathotep.  :)
