i thought maybe it was part of a pick ax but im not so sure,kinda looks like a shoe...i sure wouldnt wanna wear it :shock:

Looks like a piece they use when they make or repair shoes. My mom has a couple of them she uses as door stops. There is a stand that the shoe piece fits on.

I was at an estate auction two weeks ago and ended up with the stand for that shoe last - just the stand without the shoe part!

Back in the

Golden days, a lot of families repaired their own shoes. They were made from
a substance that was fairly durable, called leather. Now the plastic, paper, and artificial materials have taken over, so we just throw them away. A decent cobbler, should you own a quality pair of shoes charges as much to repair them as a new pair cost. Cool find though....Gil
