    IMG_5047.JPG hello all.
    Today I purchased these silver child's shoes.
    I think they are quite unusual and possibly could be Turkish for wedding maybe ????
    i have purchased them to sell at one of my antique fairs. Anyone have any idea what they could be worth?
    Thanks Rita

    No. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any hallmark of any kind. I don't think they are silver.

    They're rather crudely made. Unlikely to be silver. But why do you think they're from Turkey? (I ask because what are thought of as traditional Turkish shoes are flat with a closed pointed toe ending in an upturn.)

    Actually they are probably continental. As I was informed that they could be women's Turkish wedding shoes . So maybe they wouldn't be marked. Just a lower percentage of silver .

    So are they are children's or women's size? I wouldn't eliminate India as a source.
