Description

OFFERED HERE FOR YOUR BIDDING PLEASURE IS
THIS VINTAGE/ANTIQUE PAIR OF WOOD SHOE FORMS....ALSO KNOWN
AS SHOE LASTS.
THERE WAS A MAKER'S MARK BUT ALAS I CAN ONLY MAKE OUT THE LAST FEW LETTERS. 'PATENT APPLIED FOR' IS ALSO IN THE AREA.
THERE
IS A NUMBER: '163' ON THE TOP OF EACH FORM.
THESE FORMS ARE HINGED AND HAVE HANDLES.
THIS TYPE OF SHOE FORM WOULD HAVE BEEN USED BY A COBBLER (CORDWAINER) DURING THE LAST HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY AND BEYOND.
THE WOOD WAS USUALLY A HARD WOOD MAPLE OR A EUROPEAN BASS.
THE LENGTH OF EACH FORM IS 10 1/2 INCHES, THE WIDTH IS 3 1/4 INCHES AND THE HEIGHT AT THE BACK IS 4 I/2 INCHES.
THE WOOD COULD BE CLEANED BUT A BIT OF DIRT JUST ADDS CHARM.
ONE OF THE HANDLES TWISTS ALMOST ALL THE WAY OUT AND THE OTHER DOESN'T.
THIS PAIR IS A GREAT SHOWPIECE OF A TIME PAST.
HAPPY BIDDING!
