About this item:Rare Vintage 1920s Bixby Black Shoe Cream Complete Set - Box, Metal Tube & Cloths - S.M. Bixby & Co. - Unique Antique Country Store Display Piece Plus Bonus Kiwi Shoe Care Kit Metal Tin

Up for sale or purchase is a genuinely rare piece of early 20th-century Americana: a complete, original 1920s Bixby Black Shoe Cream set, manufactured by the historic S.M. Bixby & Co., Inc.

An Ultra-Rare Survivor

Because shoe cream was an inexpensive, everyday utility product, the vast majority of these soft metal tubes and cardboard boxes were used completely up, crushed, and thrown into the trash over a century ago. To find a surviving cardboard box alongside its original matching 15¢ metal squeeze tube and the original applicator/polishing cloths is an absolute anomaly. It is an incredibly difficult piece to locate for serious collectors of vintage country store advertising, shoe-shining memorabilia, or early Art Deco packaging.

Historical Features & Details:

* Brand: S.M. Bixby & Co., Inc. (One of America\'s legendary shoe care pioneers, famous for Jet-Oil).

* Era: Circa 1920s. Pinpointed by the iconic \"15¢\" price graphics and the early Art Deco geometric shield design.

* Complete Set Contents: You will receive the original highly graphic cardboard outer box, the authentic lithographed metal squeeze tube with its cap (hardened expired product inside) and two original vintage polishing cloths.

* Visual Appeal: Features a striking, high-contrast red, yellow, and black color scheme that gives it incredible \"shelf presence\" for an antique display, retail space, or prop collection.

Condition Report:

This set is in beautiful, honest vintage condition with a fantastic natural patina. The cardboard box is structurally sound with light edge wear, minor scuffs, and gentle aging consistent with a 100-year-old paper item. The top flap of the box is present but torn off. The lithographed metal tube has clear, readable graphics, showing only minor creasing and cosmetic weathering from decades of careful storage. The product inside is hard and dried - totally unusable. Please review the photos closely, as they serve as the ultimate description of the item\'s condition.

Do not miss the chance to add this unique, unfindable piece of advertising history to your collection. Includes a bonus Kiwi Shoe Care Kit Empty Round Tin.
