Radium Boot Polish 

 

A can of Radium brand boot polish with a small  cake of dried polish inside. Not radioactive, but possibly useable. 

The text on the side of the can indicates that it was made in England: "Radium Polishes Ltd. Broadheath Nr Manchester"

Unfortunately, I have no additional information about this item. My guess would be that it dates from the 1920s or thereabouts.

 

Size:  2 1/8" (diameter x)  5/8"
