1858 Patent Model
Boot Jack This interesting
valet style bootjack was patented December 28th 1858 by Fred Ahl of West Meriden CT.
The patent # is 22404. Fred covered all the bases here, and claimed that
this could also double as a hat rack, or clothes stand. He called the
swinging arm a vibrator, and went on to describe how you could dismantle it
should you want to take it with you on your next outing or trip. This
bootjack has a great look and presence. It will be a key piece in any bootjack
or early Americana collection. As nice as they come!! Recommended!

1872 Patent Model
Traveling
Boot Jack This bootjack was patented by Henry Crocker of
Massachusetts on May 21st
1872. The patent # is 126,876. Henry's idea was to design a
small lightweight bootjack especially suited to travelers. The patent
claims it is adjustable, and will work well once you get your foot into it, and
hold the small protrusion out the back with your other foot while pulling the
first one out of the boot.. I am not sure how that would work. I
doubt it made it into production. Different & nice!!

Folsom
Dorset 1871 Patent Model
Boot Jack The patent says Mr. Dorset assigned the patent to Charles
Parker. A bootjack marked Parker is just below. The patent date is
October 7th 1871 and the number is 143,408. The tag seems to be missing,
but the red ribbon is still here. I have read that the phrase red tape
originates from the red material that they used to affix the patent tags to the
object. This example is unmarked while the two later production examples
that are to be found are both marked with names and dates.
