I've treated them with Saphir Renavateur, and will give them a bit of wax tomorrow.
Google shows they're from a shop in Minnesota, but that's all I know.

Warbaby said:I scored these snappy white cap toes at the thrift store yesterday. Oddly, here's no indication of the maker. Also oddly, the marked size (9-9 1/2 E) appears to be incorrect. I wear a 10 1/2 - 11 and while they're a bit too narrow, they fit fine in the length. Since they haven't really been broken in, they're fairly stiff but I'm going to walk them around the house for a few days and see if they loosen up to where they're comfortable enough to wear.
Any thoughts on dating them or who the maker might be?

If anone is SELLING VINTAGE 2-tone shoes or single colored suede shoes in size 9 through 11, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I will buy them, trade for clothes, suits, hats, or whatever you're looking for!
This is just part of my collection (but this picture is about 2 years old, so my collection has grown a lot since & I have sold a few pairs).
The only reproductions in the picture are the sneakers & they're made by Colchester Rubber Co (which was the first sneaker ever made in 1892-pre converse!)!
