Sample Shoes 1830s

Two charming samples for a travelling salesman or/and doll's shoes?

Price: £95 | $130 | €110

Caramel coloured leather with squarish toe, silk ribbon to front, and silk ribbon edging and  ties, leather soles, cotton interiors.

3 1/4 in; 8 cm long - £95

A black glacé leather gentleman's shoe, probably for a doll, with squarish toe and a silk grosgrain ribbon bow

21/2 in; 6.5 cm

The caramel shoe is in very good condition. The ribbon bow is fraying.

The black shoe is quite worn, which makes me think it was for a doll.

Footwear by Alan and Vanessa Hopkins p 52/3.
