Pair of Vintage Western Last Co, Women's Shoe Mold Bookends

About the Item

Pair of women's size 6 cobbler shoe forms converted to bookends (circa 1930s St. Louis, Missouri, USA). Since the shoes themselves were used as molds to make shoes, there are pin-pricks and wear present from frequent use in addition to naturally aged patina. They work well as bookends or simply as tabletop sculptures. Measures: H: 9.5" x D: 5.5" x L: 4.5" Marked: Western 7-54 Last St. Louis, MO along with a 6B branding on top, indicating the size.
