The theme of the movie is highlighted by the famous "March of the Wooden Shoulders ".
Thus, this item exemplifies that famous march. Laurel & Hardy, who are in the 1934 version of the story, would be proud to see this 1961 Walt Disney Productions' "Babes in Toyland"
Shoeshine Box. One of the first holiday movies with these marching wooden soldiers.
Also included are 3 vintage, shoe brushes. The top of the Shoebox slides open to reveal the space to store the material needed to shine shoes. Considered by many a collector's item and a rare and wonderful vintage piece for Disney enthusiasts.
Specifically designed by Walt Disney as part of the promotion of the movie and designed to be used by children to polish their shoes. A rare and vintage find in good condition.
The "1961 Walt Disney Productions" trademark is on the side.
The three brushes were included when the item was discovered by Clover's Cottage. We do not know if they are original to the set. They are photographed separately for your review.
Indeed, vintage horsehair brushes are considered collectors' items in their own right.
Will make a great Christmas decoration under the tree, on a table or as an addition to a collection for the Disney enthusiast. In good to very good condition the Shoeshine Box and Brushes dimensions are:
Shoeshine box: Height: 9"; Depth: 6"; Width: 12".
Brushes: All 3 are 2" deep. The first is labeled, " Kiwi Brand, 100 % horsehair Easy Shine Brush"; it is 6 1/2" long x 2" wide. The second brush is unlabeled and is 3"
x by 2" long; the third brush is labeled " Hilton 10" and is 4.5" long x 2 " wide.
