antique rare pair wooden treen boot shoe
stretchers (2)
Item number: WOO0704092326
Price:
$295
These are absolutely
lovely with patina and wood grain. They have a middle part with grooves
that slides in between the front and end parts of the feet to stretch
out the boots/shoes.
Just imagine the work that would have gone into making these with
chisels and sandpaper. The wooden feet are about 10.5 inches long (or
27 cms) with the insert in between.
I have never seen boot stretchers like this before.
They are in very good condition.
Postage in Australia $10 USD. Postage USA $30 USD. Postage Europe $35
USD.
Postage will be at cost. No handling fees.
THE GROVE AND
RUNNERS IN EACH
PIECE MEANS YOU CAN USE TWO INSERTS FOR A BIG SHOE.
ALSO, JUST THE
FRONT PART INSELF CAN BE USED TO PUSH OUT A SQUASHED BOOT, AS SHOWN IN
ONE OF THE PHOTOS BELOW.

Item number: WOO24081643
Price:
$500 & 650
It is rematkable that thise two early coin registers have survived for so long. They were the old stores coin register. Made from Australian red cedar and dating to around c1850. I often wonder how they cut the hemispherical holes out. You will be lucky to see anything like these again.
They are Australian and from our colonial days. They are museum quality. I have not tried to restore them in any way.
