shoe-shine!!

i bid on this treasure at a local thrift store auction

and mine was the winning bid!

it is a wonderful old shoe-shine box with all the original polishing goodies

look how worn it is

here's the top with a boot strip (?) where you would rest your shoe

(I have no idea why blogger keeps rotating my photos - anyone have a solution??)

i gave it to my dad - he honestly spent longer digging through and sniffing all the polishes than on any of his "real" gifts! (that's where I get my treasure-hunting genes...)
