just doing a bit a random research now that I've discovered many shoe strap buckles are marked. I have a pair of CC41 stamped gold high heel sandals that could literally be any date the utility mark was used. I was going to put them as c.1950-2 from the very open toe design and strappiness, which would be at the limits of the mark. However I searched the buckle markings and the maker or designer LWParis appears to have been designing from the Victorian era to the 1940s from examples found online I haven't found anything later. Has anyone come across the name before in metalware? My buckle is a standard 40's/50's shape so I can't help wondering why they would put their name to such a basic item when they made so many fantastic designs previously.
The buckle (gold colour, metal?) is also stamped 7060 -I haven't found the record if this is a design patent no. but then I don't know which country it was patented in.
I know this probably won't help narrow the date of the shoes down at all, but I'm just interested in what I can find out!
