All on Ebay now here. From 1930's-60's UK sizes 3-8.

Sorry for the late notice, I've been preparing for a big fair I'm doing next weekend. But I wanted to give you chance to see them before they're all whisked away to be sold in Liverpool!
The majority of these shoes have come from a lady's house where one room hadn't been opened since the 1960's! I think I have every pair of shoes she bought between 1940-56 including all rationed purchases. (at least 10 pairs) I did wonder, if I worked out how many she could buy each year during the war and later rationing, could I fit them all into a timeline? I did my best with the styles and markings however.

her size was approximately a UK 5.5 or roughly 10" insole so if that's your size too you're very lucky!
Any questions give me a bell via messages here or on ebay. :D
 
Wow - beautiful stuff! Can't see some of the pictures either. Have bid on one pair and am keeping my fingers crossed. I won't be able to keep an eye on the end of the auction since we're going out later on... but maybe this week's vintage luck will keep up :).

Oh thank you guys! Yes unfortunately I found 50 listings in one day just too much to complete, (that wasn't even half the collection I had planned to put up) next time I will stagger myself :rolleyes: I was going to end those I didn't finish, however it is interesting and useful to see how many watchers I get with no pictures or details.
I have at least the same amount in a size 5.5/10" again, plus many more in smaller/larger sizes.
I had just clicked on a new bidder's profile and seen they had bought from several Guild members, so thought that must be somebody from here!

I have yet to work out what the best ending time is for my international bidders, sunday afternoon is certainly good for UK but I'm not sure how many continents I can stretch the ending times over!
 
Congrats to both Nicole and Karin who both won the shoes they wanted! Hopefully* they should be with you now or very soon.
Remaining pairs have been relisted here along with some new shoes, such as two pairs of 1910's pumps, and some gorgeous brocade 1920's mary janes in their original box.

What sizes would you like to see more of? I have all sizes but deciding what to put up next can be quite random, so let me know and I'll work on those next!
 
Thanks Melanie! I managed to pick the parcel up at the post office on Friday and was just going to leave feedback on ebay now. It's been a busy week here... The shoes are beautiful and they fit :).
As for your size question - I know I'd like to see more of my size, but I'm on the smaller side there (European 37, and narrow too)...
