I still have a cake of it from the 70s. It's made as best as I can figger by the Luth and Company , Germany. Do a google for

"yankee polish" wax. I have seen a similar black burnishing wax at Zack White's. It felt and rubbed the same as Yankee.

For the record don't use this on belt edges etc. It rubs off leaving a black streak over time.

On another forum someone outlined a method for edging holsters with Yankee Wax in an old post. After conferring with him today he said he no longer uses it for that very reason.
