Solid pine cobbler's shoe last with sectional construction showing traditional bootmaking craftsmanship. This industrial artifact exemplifies 19th century footwear manufacturing techniques with functional design elements.
The last features sectional wood construction with multiple assembled components joined with mortise and tenon technique. Constructed from solid pine with visible growth rings and natural patina developed through workshop use. The two-part design includes a removable ankle section that allowed the craftsman to extract the completed boot without damaging the leather. Notable features include two mounting holes for bench attachment and hand-carved shaping throughout.
Condition Notes: Natural wood patina shows expected workshop wear consistent with industrial use. Visible separation at joinery seams. Original nail holes remain intact on sole. Minor surface cracks and age-related checking throughout. No significant structural damage or missing components. Refer to the pictures and in person inspection for condition.
