It looks like a double breasted converted to single breasted, thus the overly boxy look. Not to mention that is has 2 lapel button holes, of which you only see on double breasteds.
I didn't take a photo of the sides of the interior but on the left there's oval shaped "window" that has gold letters on a blue background reading "The Florsheim shoe". The opposite side reads "11 1/2 D 768149 16 31884 Flexible Fiber Insole HE".
I dunno, I can't pick a favorite. One day I like the smaller earth tone subtle muted colors of the late '20s/early '30s and then the next day I like the big fat shiny 1938-1948 era ties.
I have an NOS pair of Florsheims I got off eBay. Wanted to ask the shoe experts how old these are. Any tricks to dating Florsheim shoe's in general would be greatly appreciated :)
1953 Chevrolet dealer promo model I found in an antique store. Originally came from an old dealership in Bensonhurst Brooklyn. The store had several, wanted to buy another one but the next time I passed the store they were all gone. I surmise a car enthusiast had a field day!
