Lot 292:
Description
This pair of black leather false boots have no maker’s marks. They are a long metal flat bar that holds the these leggings together on each calf. The bar slides down and interlocks each legging. The leather is very good condition and has been treated with a preservative that makes it a bit waxy to the touch. They retain their shape and leather has some flexibility. The right one’s heal strap is broken at the middle and the left one is missing most of the heal strap missing. Period false boots are very rare especially when the are such fine condition.
