1/8 inch Sole Set/Waist Iron
1/8 inch Sole Set/Waist Iron
£0.00
An antique and unusual iron made by an English workshop
Most likely custom made, this tool was part of a West End shoemaker’s set.
The extended handle indicates that it is probably for use in the waist of the shoe, for added pressure.
Mostly likely used to produce a Blind Square Waist, the extended lip will give a long extended decorative edge on the sole section.
Given it has no top lip, it could also be used in the forepart.
Wide 1/8 inch
Stamped: 1
Original beech handle, cut extra long
