AVRO Automatic Shoe Shine Machine SS-4 (with sole cleaner)

Shoeshiner or boot polisher is an occupation in which a person cleans and buffs shoes and then applies a waxy paste to give a shiny appearance and a protective coating.Not only does shining your shoes look good, it is a necessary part of properly caring for and maintaining a nice pair of leather shoes or boots. The polish itself helps moisturize and waterproof the leather, lengthening the lifespan of your shoes.Shoe shining has been linked back to the 19th century although shoe polish never hit to masses commercially until the 20th century. Reports suggest that honey, champagne, grease and oven soot were all used to shine shoes in the early days as shoe shine pioneers looked to achieve the best shine for their clients.
