The Story
Original Item. Very Few Available. We are offering a great selection of New Old Stock tins of Cadet Brown Whittemore’s Oil Paste Shoe Polish. Each tin is entirely unopened and complete, with great colorful labels.
The Whittemore Brothers Corporation was established in 1852 by David and Joshua Whittemore. The Cambridge-based company manufactured various shoes stains, including shoe polishes and pastes, meant for the treatment of leather footwear. By the early twentieth century, the firm expanded its line of products to include Cleanall, a detergent created to remove grease from fabrics, automobile interiors, and fenders. By 1930, the Whittemore Brothers Corporation employed over 150 people in its Albany Street factory.
Each tin measures 3½” in diameter and 1” in height. A great item to fill out a soldier’s personal effect display, or to use! Get one before they’re gone.
