Topic: ID Manufacture date Sowerby shoe

[Keencollector]

I am having the same problem as you Paul S.   I have been through the 3 CD's  four times and pattern 1990 isn't there. 

[Paul S.]

I don't have Pattern Book XI in a 'separate' form, and that's no doubt where pattern 1990 occurs.              It's just possible that the reason for the scarcity of this boot/shoe, and the apparent un-Registered design, may well be that it was thought an unsuccessful item originally.         The other three Sowerby shoe patterns from the late Victorian period - Nos. 1921, 1927 and 1948 are roughly similar to each other, but as we've said nothing at all like this one.
I'd guess this is a good piece to have, and quite scarce.

Had I seen the post I would have added a link to my original listing confirming the shoe was Victorian but I had to work for 15 hours on Saturday and all Sunday morning only briefly going the the GMB on the evening.

that's no excuse Roy   -  only joking - very kind of you to say so, and appreciate your offer to assist.

Paul you are forgiven  this time .

Margaret in future if I do not reply to similar posting just email me a link and I will check it out as we have known each other for quite a few years.
