Two Mistakes at This Old Shoe-Shine Stand: Answer

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.
