Lot #2: Vintage Griffin Shinemaster Wood Shoeshine Cedar Box with Brass Latch Circa 1930s

A finely crafted shoeshine box with finger joints and brass hardware made by Griffin Shinemaster, Brooklyn, New York. The sticker would have been located underneath the latch but has fallen off over the years. This rare find is made of cedar with an oak wood backing. It was well loved and exhibits some scratches, scuffs and wood crackling. The bottom has a crack in the wood but doesnt affect its usefulness. This box opens and shuts nicely. The latch and hinges function properly. There is no key for the lock. 10 3/4 inches long by 7 1/2 inches wide by 7 1/2 inches tall. Can be used for its original purpose or as a decorative item, storage for arts and crafts or even as a planter.
