Found on the Folly - SHU-SHINE!

 If you know what this is, I know how old you are! 😊

Remember the days when you "shu-shined" your netball or tennis 'tekkies'. You could give someone "Arc-Eye" the next day!


SHU-SHINE

The Epic White Shoe Cleaner.


Found on Collard's Folly, on the bank facing the Hockey Astro


Vintage tube of Shu-Shine White Shoe Cleaner R19216

Manufactured by Signal Chemical Company

Boston, Mass.

Made in the U.S.A

Circa 1950's (I think)


If you have a box of Shu-Shine in a cupboard somewhere - It could sell on ebay for R185.35
