[TheForge] Leather shoe adjusters

[rog781 at means.net]

I see these at flea markets quite often here in southern Minnesota.
Havent taken the time to examine them further.
Now that someone is looking for one I probably wont see them again

 When purchasing a new pair of shoes, I found a pair but not the fit. The

> end and a ball on the other. I didn't have a chance to measure these but
> it looked like an interesting, useful project.
