Pair of Vintage American Wood Shoe Molds Bookends
Located in Moreno Valley, CA
Vintage pair of American wood women shoe form molds mounted as bookends Vintage wooden shoe making mold from the 1930s. A pair of shoe form converted to bookends, these well carved solid wood shoe mould would have been used to make handmade shoes. These molds were traditionally made for each customer and would be used each time they came into the cobbler for a new pair of shoes. They are in good original condition with the patina and metal that shows age. Cobbler molds size 6.5 B model 258 Made from solid wood, I love these moulds because of their individual nature but also they are almost a piece of sculpture. Since the shoe form themselves were used as molds to make shoes, there are pin-pricks and wear present from frequent use in addition to naturally aged patina. They work well as bookends or simply as tabletop sculptures. These elegant women wooden shoes bookends form mold make a great addition to your vintage decor. Vintage hand carved wood cobbler shoe molds...

    An industrial designer plays an important role in the production of manufactured products. They come up with concepts and create drawings and schematics that manufacturers use as guides when making everything from cars to furniture to housewares. Typically, they earn college degrees in fine arts, architecture, industrial design or engineering prior to working in the field. Some well-known industrial designers include Philippe Starck, Dieter Rams, Marcel Breuer and Charles and Ray Eames. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of furniture and decorative objects.

    Opinions vary as to who the first industrial designer was. Some experts bestow the title upon Christopher Dresser, a 19th-century British designer who created furniture capable of being mass-produced by machines. Others believe that Peter Behrens deserves the title. Active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he designed everything from lighting fixtures to furniture to kitchenware.
