Shoe, Composite Item Number: 45KI765/M-86 from the The Burke: University of Washington

Description

AMEC Analysis: Years (min): 1890 Comments: This is a loafer-style shoe cobbled with round-headed nails. The heal and sole are constructed of leather strips tacked atop one another. One leather shoe, of a 'loafer' style. Some pieces appear to be made of rubber. Top margin has been machine-sewn, indicating a post 1846 manufacture. The inclusion of nails seems to indicate a pre 1862 manufacture. Significant grey accretions on interior and exteriors; loss of these may cause future weight changes. Iron nails in sole are corroded.
