Tooled Leather Set ?

it depends on your cobbler ~ we have a pretty good one, now, and he'll say as we bring something in, "yes i can", or "no, i cannot."
i think they're all incredible! do they all match? or are they all from the same estate, but not necessarily matching pieces??
i would be inclined to sell them separately, rather than as a set, esp since you'd be dealing with the shoe size issue....that limits your market.

Thank you. I bought them all together and they do match so think they are a set. I may consider this. The shoes are an 8 about. Didn't think about that but you are correct. The cobbler told me to take them in but thought I may ask here first. Not bad at all but could be reinforced I think. Do you think 40s or 50s? I actually bartered for this set.

Early 50s. It is hard to find the shoes in good condition, And in that size.

I would also have said early 50's, something about how low cut the sides are (the more revealing - the later, in general) and the logo - is that a sticker or stamped?
It's a good size - a UK 6 is the bestseller here (it's related to the average height nowadays) which yours are not far off - that sort of damage can certainly be re-inforced with a sewn patch to the inside but you want a good repair that won't create weaker spots where the new stitching is - that only comes with a decent cobbler!
Personally, I would try selling them as a set first with a good price, then split to bags & shoes if they don't move.

I would lean towards selling them as a set as well. (I've never seen a set like that). I LOVE tooled purses and am surprised that hey go for a relatively low price on eBay.
That's a fabulous set! I agree with early 50s & definitely sell them together. Whoever can fit the shoes will love to have the extra pieces.

I would sell them separately but list with references to the other items. If someone wants them all, they'll go for them, but you could find buyers that just want one or the other.
