    Description

    Amazingly highly crafted box made of birdseye Maple
    Esquire Shoe Polish was the best selling shoe polish brand in America from the 1940s to the 1960s. During the Great Depression, Sam and Albert Abrams, chemists and entrepreneurs from Brooklyn, took over an ailing boot polish maker, the Knomark Manufacturing Company of Williamsburg, Brooklyn
    Box is approx. 10 3/4" X 6 1/2"  x 12" high.  Latch is good working condition.  Stains on the inside from the old shoe polish.  This has a deep history and lots of use on commerce.  Someone made their living with this kit.
