I picked these up the other day and there's part of a note tucked into one toe, stating that the author "....had no money to buy white satin shoes.... I wore these silver shoes July 15, 1946."
I'm assuming she wore these for her wedding in lieu of white satin. I wish these fit me, because, if these are indeed the shoes the note went with originally, this woman obviously cared enough about them to give their history. I find it touching, and the note a
neat bit of history. Wish the rest of it was with these.
Anyway, do these look like 1940's shoes? I am not versed in shoes that old, so if they aren't, I wouldn't know the difference! They're a silver lame' with the name "Richmond's Designer Collection" on the insole.

(aside - I wish I'd worn sparkly silver shoes to my wedding, what a good idea! My stained satin ballerina pumps would just have a note in saying 'my mother bought these and sewed some ribbon on for me at the last minute as I'd forgotten about shoes'. But at least i was laid back about the whole thing, LOL!)
