Charming Antique Folk Art Boot Shaped Boot Lacer on Loop fraternal horseshoe quite an extraordinary thingA charmer of an antique charm, and a functional one too a boot shaped boot lacer, with "hook" that folds out to be used to pull one's laces tight. Made of brass I believe, with a bright gold toned surface on one side and silver on the other, with decorative embossed patten on the brass of the hook. I've never seen another like this, a wonderfully folky thing, perfect for stringing on a chain now and wearing as a lucky, and handy, pendant! 1 3 4" x 1 7
