This shoe-shine puzzle shows a wooden chair, polish tins, brushes, newspaper, leather shoes, and a tip jar. Two shoe-care details do not fit the 1950s.

Two Mistakes at This Old Shoe-Shine Stand: Answer

The Answer

The correct answer is: The molded foam sneaker insert and the modern disposable polish sponge applicator are the two mistakes..

Here is why

  1. The shine chair, polish tins, brushes, newspaper, and tip jar fit the old shoe-shine stand.
  2. The molded foam sneaker insert under the chair is too modern for the scene.
  3. The disposable polish sponge applicator mixed with the brushes is the second modern clue.

Why people miss it

Shoe-shine stands already have many brushes, tins, pads, and leather items, so a modern applicator can blend in if its color is muted.
