    Description

    Girl’s black leather riding boots ca. 1925; these were owned by my mother who lived in southern Piedmont Virginia and Durham NC; she would have worn these when she was in her early teens in about 1925. I also have a red vest which I am listing separately. These were in storage until about 10 years ago when I found them in our attic! The boots are about 16 inches (40.6 cm) tall, 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) across at the top; the sole and heel from heel to toe measures about 10 inches (25.4 cm); the sole is just over 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide at the widest part. No size is given, and no indication of the name or place of manufacture. Sorry no international shipping.
