Anyone Got Shoe Button Covers?
I've dug 2 pairs, was able to find the two pieces to each pair months apart
Love to see yours!

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!

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.....

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.
