Description
Shinola was originally a Rochester, NY based company that made a brand of wax-based shoe polish that was available from 1907 until 1960. During World War II, the phrase “you don’t know shit from Shinola” became a very popular saying among soldiers. It generally meant that you did not have a clue as to what was going on!
Today the slightly irreverent Shinola brand name has been revived by Bedrock Manufacturing (owned by the founder of Fossil, Inc. and Swiss timepiece maker RONDA). They bought the rights to the brand name Shinola to introduce their new line of luxury American-made watches, bikes and leather goods. They actually offer Shinola shoe polish as well!
