18TH/19TH C. WOODEN BOOT JACK W/ RED PAINT
Price: $165 plus shipping
Sold by Forget-Me-Not Antiques
I love the form of this early wooden boot jack. It is American and it retains its original very dry oxblood red paint. There are incised chip carvings on top of the center pieces. A wonderful bent wood frame having a loop to place the boot in for removing. There is a forged iron bolt with a square nut and a forged pin holding the pieces together. Measurements are 22 x 5” wide and it dates to late 18th or early 19th century. Just a great piece of folk art.
