Shoe Lasts

I'm not sure when or why I started collecting these but it was a complete coincidence that I ended up doing my foundation at Cordwainers College. Not only did I add to my collection with the lasts they were getting rid of, I learnt that the cast iron lasts were used by cobblers to repair shoes whilst the wooden ones were used by cordwainers to make shoes. I also learnt to draw.
