    Cobbler shoe form/mold, used to be for shoe-making.

    It’s called a “shoe anvil”.

    Yes. A shoe anvil is used to support a shoe when nailing on the sole, and for other repairs. It is not a "last", which is shaped more like a foot and used when forming the soft leather of a shoe. Lasts are usually made of wood.
