Barber, Chinese, Prostitute Boot


Recommended Posts

Got out for a couple hours today. 1893 s Barber dime, slightly-semi-rare, has xf45+ detail if it weren't for the environment damage. My oldest Chinese coin 1662-1722 Sheng Tsu reign. and my favorite of the day, the heart boot plate, Wild West prostitutes' business card of sorts :)

I wonder when heart shaped boot plates went out of common usage? Could help to date other finds.

Very Nice Heel plate for sure...

See how small it is...Womans shoe....

Now I dont know for sure but I have read that women of the night would wear those on there shoes so when they walked down the old unpaved streets they left a calling card of sorts behind ..

It would date 1860s..not past about 1870s I wouldn't think..we dig them pon Civil ware period sites here only..
