This is a place for any extant garments in private collections from about 1941 back. There is no beginning date. The only rule is that it can't be currently in a museum and must be before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I mostly post items I've seen on ebay, etsy, or other auction sites so we will continue to have a record of them for research purposes. If you have antique clothing in your collection, please, email me pictures of them and I will gladly add them to this site.

Romantic Era Brown Leather Shoes
From the seller:
A classic pair of 1830-1840 tan leather shoes. The shoes have a tan ribbon tie front. The shoes are lined with linen. They are in very good condition. There is some minor wear on the back heel area, one slightly larger than pencil tip size spot on one shoes and one small pea size spot on the other shoe. Length 9 ½ Width 2 ½.
From Me:
Still straight last - until about the Civil War really- and I really like the lace up detail.
