    This huge, 38-inch long correspondent / spectator shoe appeared recently in a local antique shop. It appears to be made from leather, just like a real shoe. I have to confess, I’m sorely tempted to give it a new home!

    Why am I suddenly seeing a little kid in a mob cap posing with it? Or an old lady? :p:p

    For those that have difficulty seeing the tag, it says:
    "Rare 1920s trade shoe from a Montreal museum collection."
    How neat!
    What are they asking for it?

    It’s not cheap - the price on the tag is $1600 CAD, so about $1160 USD. I have no idea if this is a good price or not as I can’t find any sold comparables!
