THIS IS A VINTAGE, MATCHED PAIR OF ADVERTISING WOODEN CLOGS / SHOES.
\'HEINEKEN s LAGER\' IS THE LETTERING DOWN THE SIDES. NOTE THE SMALL S AFTER HEINEKEN.MY DAD OWNED THE \'MOJAVE CLUB\' IN CALIFORNIA. THESE WERE ON A SHELF IN THAT BAR DURING THE EARLY 1950\'S. I REMEMBER THEM, AS I WOULD GO INTO THE CLUB / BAR TO SELL MY HARD BOILED EGGS! FOR 10 CENTS EACH, AND AT Easter WHEN THE EGGS HAD \' DECORATIONS\', THE PATRONS GAVE ME 25 CENTS PER EGG : ) !.
I ALWAYS LIKED THE CLOGS. I TRIED THEM ON ONCE, BUT THEY WERE WAY TO BIG FOR ME, AND NOT COMFORTABLE.
SOMEWHERE IN THE 60\'S DAD SOLD THE BAR AND BROUGHT THESE SHOES HOME AND THEY STAYED IN HIS \' WORKSHOP\'. IN THE EARLY 1970\'S I HELPED CLEAN OUT THAT SHOP, AND TOOK THE CLOGS HOME WITH ME.THEY HAVE ONLY TINY PROBLEMS, PIN HOLES ON THE BACK HEEL FROM WHEN / HOW THEY WERE MADE, TINY MINOR SCRAPES HERE AND THERE, WITH SOME MINOR SCUFFS, A DING OR TWO. WHICH ARE NOTHING, ALL CONSISTENT WITH THE AGE OF APPROX 65 YEARS. PLEASE LOOK AT ALL THE PHOTOS AND ZOOM IN FOR THE BEST DESCRIPTIONS.THE PAINTED WINDMILLS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. COLORS OF RED, GREEN, AND BLACK. THE GRAPHICS ON THE SIDE SAY \'HEINEKEN s LAGER\". NOTE THE SMALL \'S\' AFTER HEINEKEN , AND BEFORE LAGER.
THE VARNISH IS GOOD ON THE SIDES. IT IS OXIDIZED ON THE TOP.
SHOWS HAND CHISELING ON THE OUTSIDE BOTTOM AND INSIDE. PHOTOS 6-9. ZOOM IN.
NO VARNISH /LACQUER ON THE BOTTOMS OR INSIDES., EXCEPT FOR PAINT RUNS.
THEY ARE STAMPED \'MADE IN HOLLAND\', IN BLUE INK, ON THE UNDERSIDES OF BOTH SHOES..
THERE ARE ALL THE NUANCES OF BEING HAND MADE / FINISHED. SEE ALL PHOTOS AND ZOOM IN!
I DO NOT KNOW WHAT KIND OF WOOD THEY ARE MADE FROM. THERE IS A WOOD \'FLAW\'? ON THE BACK HEEL, THAT IS VARNISHED OVER. SEE PHOTO # 5 AND ZOOM IN. IT HURTS NOTHING.
THERE ARE NO CRACKS IN THE WOOD.
9 1/2 \" TOE TO HEEL. 4\" WIDE. 4 1/2 \" TALL. WEIGHT FOR THE PAIR IS 1 POUND 9 OUNCES.
I HAVE ONLY DUSTED THESE CLOGS. IT DOES NOT LOOK AS IF ANYONE EVER WORE THESE, EXCEPT FOR MY FEET TRYING THEM, ALL THOSE YEARS AGO!THERE ARE OTHER WOODEN HEINEKEN LAGER CLOGS FOR SALE, BUT THIS MATCHED PAIR HAS A VALID HISTORY AND HAVE BEEN WATCHED OVER BY MYSELF AND MY FAMILY FOR OVER 65 YEARS. THEY ARE WORTHY OF A COLLECTOR, OR FOR BAR DECOR, WHICH IS WHERE THEY CAME FROM IN THE FIRST PLACE..
THE PRICE REFLECTS THE AGE, CONDITION, AND HISTORY.I AM NOW AN OLD LADY AND DO NOT NEED SO MANY \"THINGS\". I DESCRIBE THE VERY BEST I CAN, WARTS AND ALL. YOUR SATISFACTION IS IMPORTANT TO ME.
PLEASE READ THE TEXT, LOOK AT THE PHOTOS, AND ASK ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. RETURNS CAN GET EXPENSIVE.
PAY PAL IS NICEST FOR ME, BUT A CHECK IS OK TOO. PROMPT PAYMENT IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED.
I SHIP IN 1 DAYS TIME WITH PAY PAL OK.
THANKS.
