Condition

Condition: Please refer to the detailed description and photographs below.

This is a genuine vintage/pre-owned item.

* Noticeable wear and loss to the dark surface finish, particularly across the toes, revealing lighter timber beneath.

* Scratches, scuffs, small indentations and surface marks consistent with age and handling.

* Metal fittings show age-related dulling and discolouration.

* BALLY branding remains clearly visible on both heel sections.

* Both ring pulls and twin connecting rods are present.

* Mechanical operation and spring tension have not been confirmed.

The photographs form an important part of the description and condition report. Please examine them carefully as they best illustrate the item’s condition, age, character and overall presentation.

As with all vintage and pre-owned items, signs of age, use and handling are to be expected and should be considered part of the item’s character.

Measurements

Both shoe trees are size 7. The original sizing system is unconfirmed, so a modern UK, US or Australian size conversion cannot be guaranteed.
