These are wooden forms used by a shoe maker to repeat make an identical leather shoe or boot.
One is sized 6 marked W2615 c1930's it has a maple body and metal sole plate
The second is marked with a 'K' and stamped R Whitton 'The last Man' Northampton. Made somewhere between 1936 and 1960 when Whitton's Last Works was operating in Newbridge - it has a maple body and metal sole plate
The third isa size 6, marked 2717 and stamped 'last Norwich' again a maple body but with no metal sole plate
All three look to be hinged but I can't move the hinge on them
Condition is clearly seen in the images
