CS036 Brasso - Edition 2,000
|
|
|
Brasso was introduced into Britain in 1905 and still remains the
best-known metal polish in the world. A representative of Reckitt and
Sons visited Australia at the turn of the century and found that a
liquid shoe polish was proving to be more popular than the paste type of
metal polish sold in the U.K. He brought a sample of the liquid back
home which eventually became the household metal polish that we know
today. The Brasso recipe consists of a siliceous polishing powder
suspended in an ammonium soap jelly and dispersed in white spirits. This
is a product that has barely changed since the turn of the century. In
fact the distinctive tin has only changed once throughout the last
hundred years and that was during the Second World War in 1941, when the
tin had to be replaced by a glass bottle because of the shortage of
metal.
