Members plinkercases Posted May 28, 2019 Members Report Posted May 28, 2019 I came into a batch of what was advertised as old cobbler's tools. Some hand made bits but 6-7 Obsborne tools in fine shape which i will post when i get good shots BUT this badge was the coolest... some of these tools may have been in the hands of a wartime shoemaker.

mikesc Posted May 28, 2019 Report Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Some background on Bata.."interesting" history*..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bata_(company) The Mickey Mouse boots..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunny_boots Their shoes and boots were standard issue for the RAF in the 50s , 60s and 70s ( I don't know about later on ) , well made and solid, with toe caps that you could "bull" to a mirror finish. I don't know if they still make for the UK forces.. *their wartime shoemakers didn't have a lot of choice in the matter..
