PRIMITIVE ANTIQUE WOODEN SHOE LAST w METAL HEEL

Description

This listing is for a vintage wooden shoe last in very used condition.   It's 11 1/2 inches long.  Marked #156, whatever that means.   This piece is in very worn and used condition with hundreds of nail holes, some chips, and dents, along with some staining, all from extensive use in a cobbler's shop or shoe factory.   I have other primitives and lots of antiques and collectibles listed in my store.   All of my items were found in estate sales and cleanouts on Cape Cod.  None of the items have been touched by the public, just stored in totes. All items have been stored for weeks or thoroughly washed.  I am in a low risk area and I am observing all precautions for virus protection.
I use USPS exclusively for shipping, and in 22 years of eBaying, I have had little or no complaints with their service.  I will ship light items under a pound including books by First Class, which is faster than Media, and eBay gets a discount on Priority Mail which makes the cost of Priority about equal to Standard Mail.  Priority is faster, insured for free up to and they have free boxes for most sizes, and I think that is the best way to go.  I pack things very well with plenty of bubble wrap and peanuts.  I use recycled boxes when I can, not so much during the pandemic, and I only use recycled peanuts, preferably the one that look like Chee-tos, which are made of corn syrup and are biodegradable.  I urge everyone to use recycled packing and paper products whenever they can.
