Hi I have pictures and I have been looking forever for 30s and early 40s Ferragamo shoes. A lot of sellers on-line try to sell 70s that are patent letter peep toe sling backs as them. Were they not that popular in the states or the UK as they were in Europe? If anyone has a picture of the labels and or box that would be great. most picture ads in magazines don't show that.
I am new here and want to thank everyone for being so nice and helping me out with my living history impression.
thanks
 
Aside from the earliest label shown on the resource above there are two very similar labels - from what I've found the shoes made during Ferragamo's lifetime (d.1960) read Ferragamo's Creations, those made after read Salvatore Ferragamo.
I have a Ferragamo shoe box from the 1950's that is dark brown or faded black with a negative image of the shop front in pink and Ferragamo's signature on every side.

I think because Ferragamo shoes made after his death retain their traditional quality of manufacturing, are typically full leather and are often based on earlier designs people believe later shoes are earlier than they really are.
