Antique Cobbler's wooden shoe lasts or formers with original leather patches and metal soles
These are wooden forms used by a shoe maker to repeat make an identical leather shoe or boot.
One is marked 8269 - c1930's it has a maple body and metal sole plate with a large leather patch to the front
The second is size 9 and marked with a 'W5450' 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 and leather patch
The third is marked M3953 and again has a maple body and a 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
