ON SALE.........Decrepit Shoes No. 10-Circa 1840-Free shipping

Description

Decrepit.
Delicate.
Fragile.
Full of History
and memories of an era gone by.

Pre civil war Antique leather wedding shoes manufactured in Baltimore around 1840. These shoes are stamped on the sole of one of the shoes: "L. Perry & Co. MNFR. Baltimore."

Made of kid leather the shoes still retain the original silk ribbons and fine string to fasten the shoes to the wearer. They measure 9 inches long and roughly 2 1/4 inches wide.

There are definite condition issues with these shoes. These include some staining at the toes, some distress at the back seams and the interior of one shoe has small holes. They are too fragile to be worn. The shoes have the original leather heels and soles and a pencil written note that says these wedding slippers were worn by Kate Penelope Bankatt-Lynch, Columbia South Carolina.

They are in what I would call poor condition but still wonderful--they should probably be in a museum.

Free shipping!

True Vintage. Always.
