This unused shoe polishing set, with simulated leather pouch, came down through the family from Annette's grandma. All the brushes say "Made in England," from a time when they actually made things in England. The additional large brush was acquired at an estate sale here in Toronto, bought for buttons as part of a job lot.
The Kiwi shoe polish says: "By appointment to H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh" - good to know. The Kiwi company address was Ealing, London, W5.
Of course we shan't be using these items as we're keeping them for best.
