These button hooks belonged to my great-grandmother Winnie Haley Carr (1891-1970) of Halifax County, VA. I believe these hooks were used for her shoes. Thank goodness for slip-ons!
Those are some nifty treasures! Love the blue one. I bet it looks pretty in person. Thanks for sharing your photo and reminding me to give thanks for slip-on shoes!
Neat memories. My grandkids shoes are all velcro... not even laces anymore, either.

ReplyDeleteI think I've seen these in some of our family's treasures but didn't know what they were! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog from Tina Lyon's Gen Wish List entry for Thursday, March 4th. I'm glad she mentioned your site.
