Old Fashioned Shoe Polish & Brushes (Morda SY10)

Particularly looking for Kiwi Black Shoe Polish & Horse Hair Shoe Polish Brushes.

Google information if it helps jig memories of stuff maybe lurking in people's under the sink or stairs cupboards.

Bristle Type: People primarily used 100% horsehair brushes or horsehair-mix bristles. Horsehair was preferred because it is soft enough not to scratch leather, yet firm enough to buff wax polish to a high shine.
Daubers: Smaller, round-headed horsehair brushes (called daubers) with wooden handles were used for applying the polish, while larger rectangular wooden-backed brushes were used for buffing.
Vintage Kiwi Brushes and BrandsKiwi Brushes: Kiwi manufactured its own branded wooden-backed brushes, such as the vintage Kiwi "Kwik 'N Easy" Shine Brush and compact travel shine kits.

Other Era Brands: Alongside Kiwi-branded tools, other prominent vintage brush makers from that era included Cherry Blossom and various European makers marked "Made in West Germany" which were frequently sold in the same hardware and shoe repair shops.
