Description

Offered here is a vintage pair of
WEE WALKER BABY SHOES
in their original box. They are size 2.  This pair of white leather, high-top shoes have blue tongues for boys wear.  Of course they are pre-owned and have some dirt smudges on the bottom.  This offer includes everything shown in the last photo: the shoes, the box, the original flyer enclosed with the shoes AND the the
very rare IBM “automatic reorder” computer card
that came with the shoes. (Did anyone really use these cards, and why would someone reorder a pair of the same size?  Weren’t baby shoes usually out-grown rather than out-worn?)
The shoe box still has the price tag attached, showing they were bought from McDonald’s Department Store, a Nebraska based store that was bought out in 1961 and completely liquidated in 1982. Based on the format of the address on the computer card, these shoes likely date from the 1950s.  Even though they are more than 50s years old, I suspect these shoes still have a lot of wear left in them.
I found these at an estate sale and purchased them so I could display the shoes and box with my vintage and antique toy collection.  Now, however, my wife and I are well up in our 70s, and we are downsizing. That means most of the collection is being sold.  These WEE WALKER BABY SHOES
are being sold with the following guidelines:
1.  I cannot accept returns.
2.  Shipping is via the USPS First Class Parcel rate and only to locations in the 50 states of the USA.
3.  Payment is to be made within three days of purchase.
Please look at the photos and feel welcome to ask questions before you bid. I’ll do my best to answer promptly. Thanks for taking the time to look at this listing.
