Special vintage item for sale!! A wingtip shoe from the 1940s, a combination of STETSON suede and embossed crocodile leather. Among the American vintage dress shoes I've seen, this is the oldest deadstock pair. It's at a level that could be called museum-class. It's amazing that a wingtip shoe with such a stylish color combination existed in this era. Founded in Massachusetts in 1885, 【Stetson Shoes】 acquired BANISTER SHOE CO in its history and apparently produced high-quality shoes. It seems to have existed until around 1970. There are very few of these in the used and deadstock market, and the diamond-shaped logo, 【RED DIAMOND】, is its trademark. This pair was likely produced from the 1940s to the early 1950s. It appears to be a double name with C.J. CREGO & SON, a department store or brand from Harrisburg, Texas. Even just Stetson shoes are rare, but how many pairs would you find worldwide if you were looking for a deadstock pair from the 1940s with a double name? The strong yet rough and fine stitching, typical of the 40s, makes you realize the high level of ready-made shoes at the time. The hand-line on the sole, which indicates handwork, is still clearly visible, and above all, this ultimate spade sole is so cool. I think vintage dress shoe lovers will understand. Although it's deadstock, there are two green stains. (See the circled areas in the photo) A vintage-style shoe tree is also included. This is a valuable American vintage dress shoe that you won't see again. It can be used as a reference or worn. I hope it connects with someone who appreciates its value! It's not cheap, but I'm open to price negotiations! Thank you. Regarding the size, it's marked as 9 1/2 C. Due to the characteristics of the era, the width is made slightly narrow, so I think it would fit a Japanese size of 26.5cm to 27cm. Thank you for reading this long description.
