FOR SALE : WOODEN FOOTWEAR LASTS IN LONDON, UK, SIZES 5-12 MEDIUM AND LARGE
Wooden footwear lasts with plastic coloured size markings, over 200 pairs, stored in SW London near M3 & M4 motorways. The lasts are marked Gradwell, Leicester, England 4333A MOD F2 and have a scoop-top design so that you can fish them out of a tall boot.

I have eight sizes, 5-12, in medium and large widths and hope to sell them to shoemakers if possible, or lend to pub landlords who can offer them back if they're needed for shoes. A northamptonshire or leicester pub would look good with these round the shelves.

Prices for less than a size range are £12 a pair £6 each plus delivery. Prices for larger quantities are £8 a pair plus delivery and for a hundred I might haggle towards £5 if someone collects.

More pictures on Veganline.c*m/lasts.htm or one of the Veganline.c*m pages, and on Picassaweb: contact me for links.

Payment in cash on collection is fine, by paypal to shop@veganline.c*m, or by credit card over the phone to John on 0208 286 9947 - payments show as "veganline gb" on your statement. Best is BACS: I can give details.

The MOD wooden footwear lasts were modified for a fire rescue boot which was often used with a steel toe cap - part of the process involved adding some plastic padding to to the top of the toe area. If you look closely at the photo you'll see a white bit on top of the toe area. That's it. I guess it can be sanded off.

The lasts have plastic tabs in yellow, white, red, blue, purple and brown for the different lengths and are stamped in widths M and L. They lack the battered look of heavily used lasts - they're not much used - but have a more curved shape. They're dismanted by removing a scoop of wood, so there is no V-shaped dip in the top.

The boot lasts are usable for footwear manufacturing, college students' practice pattern cutting, or as pub curios.

I'll deliver orders over 50 lasts free to London. Otherwise they are about 900g each (1800g a pair) and can be delivered quite cheaply by couriers such as Collectplus.c*.uk which will send 10kg to a counter near you for £4 on top of the price. Parcelmonkey, Parcel2go and Interparcel are other online brokers for the cheapest courier and I can wrap an order ready for collection. I've never sent a pallet but think Shipley.c*m might allow cheap bids for loads over 30kg that aren't urgent.
