Description
We love a pair of vintage shoe lasts. We found these cuties – which were made by Mobbs Miller from Kettering. This company produced lasts and shoe making products for the numerous shoemakers in the area. These are all size 7 – they definitely have an industrial manufacturing feel. We love them on a console table in the hall, bookends, or just as a quirky little ornament.
They vary slightly in form and condition. The have some rough wood and on the soles there are some quite sharp metal points, so you definitely need to careful around children and where you place them on furniture. There are some paint marks too which would have come from the factory and as part of the manufacturing process.
Descriptions below; they are sold in individual pairs – please select the correct pair when buying.
Type A – a plain pair with a slight split at the toe in the right last. Green and yellow small paint splodges. 16 x 5 cms
Type B – a slightly mismatched pair with rough wood on the top. The right hand last is split into two pieces screwed together. Its sole is slightly rusted too whereas the left one isn’t. The left has a green paint splodge. 16 x 6 cms. Marked slightly less in price because of the condition and the fact they’re not an exact pair – although both size 7.
Type C – This pair are split into two pieces screwed together. The left sole is slightly rusted too whereas the right one isn’t. There is a little yellow paint splodge. Both marks 7W clearly and the left one is marked Mobbs Miller, Kettering 16 x 6 cms. SOLD OUT
