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.

From the seller:
Ladies high boots dating to the mid 19thc. Museum deaccession. With side buttons, one boot missing all it's buttons, decorative ribbon bows with beaded buttons. With museum stuffing. In as found condition missing buttons, discolorations on the heels.
Measurements: 10" outsole, 2.5" width, 1" heel, 9" high.
From Me:
Here are a couple of other examples of boots like this from the 1880's:

Pattern to make the boots from 1885
This style was popular through the rest of the Victorian period so they might be from the 1890's as well.
