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:

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.
