Leather day shoes from this period are rare, because they were well used. From a country farm house estate, Upstate New York.
Cafe au lait glace leather with elongated vamps or fronts, a narrow cotton tape seam edging the shoes and continuing down the front to a curved seam, four eyelet holes and a narrow silk fastening ribbon, lined in twill weave cotton and linen, leather turnshoe soles.
Toe to heel 10 in/25 cm.
Very very good, apart from one damaged fastening ribbon and one missing.
