Shoe last, Canterbury, NH
Description
Wooden block cut in the shape of a shoe. The shoe last has a square toe 1 7/16" wide. From the toe the height of the last gradually slopes upward toward the instep. At this point there is a flat oval top. At the other end the oval top meets the heel-curve. 5/16" from the oval top is a through-hole 5/16" in diameter cut width-wise. The heel curve extends for 1 11/16" toward the base. The base of the last consists of the seat, waist, and forepart which together give the base of the last a bowling pin-like shape.
