Never seen or heard of them before, but thanks, Herbie for the info :icon_sunny:
Hello Crazyjarhead,
I had to post on whatsit to find what they were, the backs look like the pix below,
and they were used to cover ladies shoe buttons in the victorian era.
best to you & thanks for the reply!

Nice one Romeo-1 :thumbsup:
I pulled the pairs out of my relic box,
then, as now, I guess,
women leave their shoes at the beach :laughing7:

These are cool guys..
You would think there would be alot of these out there flying off shoes.
Maybe you had to be real high class to have these..... :icon_king:


Blaze...
 

I found one once it's got a buffalo on it, now if I can only find it then i'll post a photo. I just thought it was a buton cover for a shirt, never even thought about old shoes. :-[
 

Have 30's or 40's shoe bows. These are great finds, keep it up.
 

Thank you so much for posting this... you have just helped me identify (I think) a couple of artifacts I had found many years ago in NJ.
