A George V silver model of a Baby's Shoe.

An unusual silver Baby Shoe formed in silver by Elkington and Company, Birmingham 1915, exactly copying a high quality French child's leather shoe of the period. The base of the shoe has the impression of the baby's name 'Molly' and the size 'Extra' with 'L' and 'F' : presumably for 'left foot'. Elkington and Company specialised in making copies of pieces using a process of electro-forming and the exactness of this piece would suggest that it was made using that process. Condition: \n

Good with a minor stain to the interior of the shoe and a very small crack at the corner of one strap where it adjoins the body of the shoe.

Length - 12.30 cm.; Width - 5.30 cm.; Weight - 143.50 gms.
