About the Item

A little strange but very decorative set of 11 pairs of shoe lasts or wooden shoe moulds. All pairs are orthopedic remodeled to fit various abnormalities on customers feet. As you can see these lasts come in many styles and sizes. Though the lasts are made approximately in the shape of a human foot, the precise shape is tailored to each foot with extra pieces of leather, wood and cork. Lasts were typically made from hardwood because it retains shape, even when in contact with wet materials (like leather) and subjected to the mechanical stresses of stretching and shaping shoes on them. These eleven pair of shoe lasts would make a great addition to a curiosity cabinet.

1920s Czech Taxidermy Cow Tur Domácí Bos Taurus Hind Leg Bone Classroom Study

1920s Czech Taxidermy Cow Tur Domácí Bos Taurus Hind Leg Bone Classroom Study

Located in Haarlem, NL

Very interesting early 20th Century Czech made taxidermy cow "Tur Domácí Bos Taurus" hind leg for classroom study, probably used at a University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. The leg is at least a hundred years old, you can see by the way it is fixed together (the curly iron thread) and the surface ware of the real bones, it is smooth and yellowish. The iron and wood holder however is probably aded very recently (my guess is in the 80s 90s). Tur Domácí Bos Taurus (which is Czech and Latin for domestic bovine, or domestic cow) is an even-toed ungulate from the genus Bos of the bovine family...
