Reproduction Forget Me Not 18th Century Shoe Buckles

     I am so proud of my next reproduction 18th century shoe buckle - the Forget Me Not!  I borrowed another pair of originals, owned by James Goucher, to offer another buckle.  These are almost exact reproductions, I did keep the tongue the same as the James and Dandridge buckles - so that you can just interchange them on yours shoes.  They are available now for pre-order in my Etsy shop!  

     You will receive a pair (two).  The buckles measure 2-3/8 inches long, 1-1/2 inches high, and will accommodate a strap (latchet) width of 1-3/8 inches. They are easily attached and removed to accommodate shoes made by all different makers.
