vintage one of a kind shoe shine stand/box. VERY RARE

Description

vintage one of a kind shoe shine stand/box. VERY RARE. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. This is a rare find, I haven't been able to find anything else like it. The stand itself is made of solid steel as well as the base. It has a patent date of 1894 stamped on it. The box is made of wood and can stay on the base while shining the shoe or slides up and off the stand. I bought this at an estate auction but have no idea how old it is. It came with all the polish and brushes you see in the pictures. Most, if not all the brushes are genuine horse hair, I have no idea how old the brushes are either but one of the brushes has a built-in zippered leather pocket, which I think is very rare also as I was unable to find anything else like it either. The wooden box has some chips of black paint missing and some light scratches, and also is still dusty, as I have not cleaned it, all of which I think gives it character. Comes with all polish and brushes in the pictures.
