Two Piece Cast Iron Shoe Last.. Metalware. Cast Iron. Two Piece Cast Iron Shoe Last. About 180 mm long. Early 20th century
Very Good. (N/A). Some rough marks but look to be from making. There are some other knocks and marks. Some corrosion. This has three different sized "shoes". Some of the black paint is flaking, probably a later application as I doubt the paint is original. Obviously, this is quite heavy. The word 'last' comes from the old English word 'laest,' which means 'footprint.' Lasts were used by the Greeks and Romans as far back as 400 BC. Estimate: $30-50
