Details about Vintage Cedar Wood Shoe Shine Box with Foot
Vintage Cedar Wood Shoe Shine Box with Foot Rest Top! Vintage Cedar Wood Shoe Shine Box with Foot Rest Top! This vintage pine wood shoe shine box is a reminder of the days gone past when wore footwear that needed to be polished and shined periodically if one was to look his best. In those days "Shoe Shine Boys" roamed bus and train stations as well as the street looking for a gent that needed a shine on the go. The box, as this one does, typically had a foot rest on the top for the gent to place his shoes, one shoe at a time while the shoe shine boy buffed up his shoes with tools and materials store inside the box. This box shows that it has been well used, earning it's owner a bit now and then. It is made of pine and has a slanted footrest top. The size is about " long by 8-1/8"" wide by 7 5/8 " high, not including the footrest top. I would guess the origin of this shoe shine box is from the 50's or 60's. Please see all of the pictures for the very best description of it's condition. A wonderful piece of nostalgia from the "Good-Old-Days!"
