Help dating a pair of alligator? pumps

[Sheila Dawson]

These are a pair of Troylings by Seymour Troy. They are in excellent condition, I was guessing late 1960's to 1970's dark brown and a lucky size 9. appreciate any help TIA

Those are lovely shoes. I am a Seymour Troy fan from way back, and actually have a pair quite similar to yours, but mine are perhaps older.

Can you show the toes, please? They are cut off in your photos and they are an important clue. Also a side view of the shoes helps so we can see the heel better too.

They look 1950s, maybe early 60s, but more photos will be helpful in determining that.

We have a member here who specializes in shoes, and he might be along to help.

Thanks for the extra pics, Shiela. Toes and heels are everything when it comes to dating shoes. These are quite classic, but the rounded/square toe says late '60s to early '70s to me too.

I agree with the shoes being 1960s, now that we can see the toes. Also, the font used on the inside logo is different than the ones on my 1950s pumps. I think this brown reptile style, in all of its variations, was a favorite of Seymour as he seems to come back to it over the decades.

I would place these in the late 1960s.
