Boys or Girls Size 2 Fancy Black SKECHERS COWBOY BOOTS! - eBay (item 310108883040 end time Dec-18-08 18:42:14 PST)This pair of black Skechers cowboy boots would fit either a girl or boy, US size 2. They're manmade material, made in China, with embroidered legs, a silver-chained ankle belt embroidered "Skechers" on the back and have silver medallions and toe clips.
The label inside the foot says, "Somethin' Else from Skechers." The inner leg is stamped, "All Manmade Material, Made in China, US 2, UK 1, EUR 33.5, CM 21."
They're so lightly used they smell new. The worst flaw is a white scuff on the left inner foot (bunion area). There are several minor scratches on each toe and two small white marks on the outer left heel. See photos.
These fancy cowboy boots have 1 1/2" heels. The boots measure 9 1/2" from back of heel to toe tip, 10 3/4" tall, 3 1/4" across widest part of sole, 9" tall shaft from top of heel to top of boot, and the shaft measures 5 3/4" across top of boot.

Vintage Wooden DUCK NUTCRACKER Head Lever, Shells Box! - eBay (item 310106396091 end time Dec-09-08 19:45:52 PST)Here's a nutcracker with an unusual design, perfect for a hunter or nature lover. The duck's head and neck are a lever. Lift it, place a nut on the platform and press the lever down to crack nuts. The shells fall into the box. I see no maker's mark.
It's in good used condition, solidly constructed with little marks where broken nuts scratched the wood. There are also a few minor dents here and there and one of the duck's eyes has chipped paint. Good for lots more nutcracking fun.
Stumble It!
