Basket of Ladies Shoe and Boot Stretchers
This lot comprises a wicker basket containing a quantity of ladies shoe and boot stretchers, offered together as one lot. The assortment includes metal-framed stretchers with tubular rails and T-shaped handles finished in a brass-tone colour, alongside dark grey metal examples with perforated uprights. Several shaped wooden shoe trees are also included among the contents, which are typical of this style of footwear maintenance equipment. The lot is offered as seen.
Condition and Collectable Interest
The stretchers show general signs of handling and use, with some surface marking and wear to the metal finishes and to the wooden blocks. The lot has not been tested or assessed for function, and no further history is known. Its mixed selection of styles and materials may appeal to collectors of domestic footwear accessories, or to buyers seeking practical items for shoe and boot care. Lot 693.
