NOTES ON VINTAGE ITEM - I sell these as they are found - minimal cleaning. They may have signs of scratches, flea bites, trim color fading, or manufacture flaws. If they have noticeable chips, I try to put that in the pictures.
As always, I am happy to answer any questions or send additional pictures.
Whether from use or the passing of time, it is common for vintage items to have flaws and/or imperfections. I inspect each item carefully and note in the description anything that may be considered a flaw, imperfection, defect etc.
I also try to depict the colors as accurately as possible. However, they may look different on your screen.

At Sid's Treasures, we believe in sharing our love for all things vintage and treasures others may need! I am striving to fill our shop with a broad variety of both vintage and current items. I attempt to photograph and describe each item to the best of my knowledge and price them at competitive prices. If you have any questions about any of my items, please ask!
Please note that items may have age related wear; the older the item, the more the wear. These are usually items that are no longer manufactured or available by retail. The items are purchased from estate sales, auctions, yard sales, and thrift stores; some items may need additional cleaning. Looking at an item’s current "patina" helps establish age, so cleaning is left to the buyer. Items are sold in "as is" condition.
If you find that an item you purchased is NOT as described in our listing, please contact us immediately, and I will work with you to resolve any issue.
Antique Wooden Primitive Handmade Boot Tree Shoe Stretcher.
Good vintage condition. I purchased these from a home that was built in 1854, where they were displayed on the wall from their homemade frames. They did not come apart when I removed them from the straps to take the photos, and I did not try to separate the sections. It looks like, at some time in the past, the sections may have been glued together. Please see the last photo.
Please look at the photos carefully and judge the condition for yourself. Be sure to ask any questions you may have before purchasing.
