Mini sealed sample tin "KIWI Boot Polish – Black"

Small circular lithographed tin box in the iconic red, black, and gold colors of the KIWI brand, explicitly marked "SAMPLE." The lid features the famous kiwi visual, which has become iconic in the history of international shoe polishes, with the inscriptions "Thoroughly Waterproof" and "Boot Polish – Black." The golden reverse side contains detailed instructions in English for patent leather care, confirming an Anglo-Saxon distribution. This very small format corresponds to a promotional sample, intended for demonstrations or commercial distribution, much rarer than standard sizes.
