 ** Misc Antique Shoe Making Tools **

 

Early Bunion Cure    I get inquiries about this tool and other foms of these on a regular basis asking what it is or what it was for. The idea was put the ball in the shoe and squeeze, making room for your bunion you had, and the doctor told you to learn to live with or you could not afford to have removed or feared they might cut off your whole foot over a little bump. 

The shoe forms are jointed and make for nice display pieces or decorator pieces.

Early Cobblers or Leather Workers  Vise w/ Work Station  This early primitive vice and worktable has a great look and form.  The red wash finish is original and very nice.  Note the foot operated lever to set the vice at the bottom.  It will make for a great decorative piece in almost any setting.     PIC     PIC      PIC     PIC
