Wow, very good ! That's what I'll go with . Thanks !!
The larger "composit with brass loop" will just have to remain a mystery .... the lettering is too far gone ..
Crackerjack charm until another sleuth steps forward.
Thanks again.

Antique Questions Forum / Tiny shoe style samples

« on: August 23, 2023, 03:40:47 pm »

I have found three tiny ,Crackerjack size, Victorian shoes with rings to hang on a wire .
I Don't think that they are Crackerjack prizes because two have printing on them .
The sole of one reads " Use in 1 shoe polish " ( some letters or words may be missing).
The bigger of the three has a brass ring and the shoe might be of a composite material. It also has lettering but is illegible. "ELI" ,"END"( maybe "ENDALI") , SEO" or "SCO".
Any ideas ?
