A distinguished pair of mid-century English shoe shapers by Cuthberts, precision-crafted in lightweight cast aluminium. Engineered with adjustable threaded steel extension rods and contoured heel rests, they are stamped underneath with "Made in England" and sized "9 x 10 M." Perfect for preserving the form of fine leather footwear or as a tactile sartorial display piece. During and immediately following WWII, cast aluminium became popular across English manufacturers (such as Cuthberts, Vic-Tree, and Harrods) as a lightweight, modern alternative to heavy solid-wood trees. The mechanical thumb-screw/cam-lock adjuster mechanism and typography of the stamped markings ("Made in England" and "9 x 10 M") are classic markers of British manufacturing from this era.
Condition: Both pieces show gentle surface patina, light scuffs, and age-appropriate wear consistent with historic use, while retaining fully functional mechanical adjusters.
Dimensions: Size 9-10
