Two lovely antique hand carved wooden cobbler shoemaker's lasts 
These are really lovely and are great for display purposes. They could be painted with shabby chic effect or simply waxed as they are. The patina on both is absolutely lovely. 
The first piece is solid and quite heavy and has hinged back with substantial metal fittings. It is really tactile piece. It is marked "163" on the top and "Patent applied for".
The second piece has hollow base and is much lighter. It also has hinged back with metal bracket fitting. It is marked "made in Sweden" underneath.
