Did you get it right?
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.

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
- The shine chair, polish tins, brushes, newspaper, and tip jar fit the old shoe-shine stand.
- The molded foam sneaker insert under the chair is too modern for the scene.
- 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.
