it wasn't real blood from oxen, just the name given to a dark red/burgundy colour shoe polish, and certainly you could get it in the 50s and 60s.
And well into the 80ties in Poland. I used to buy a box of it every trip back, because I liked it on my "cordovan" shoes better than brown. For all I know, it might be available still, but I got tired of polishing shoes and don't need it any more.
