About the Item

A pair of original metal roller skates, made to attach to the shoes to become skates. The pieces are heavily patinated with some remnants of the leather binding. Wooden wheels are all in tact. A compliment to many spaces as decorative or even as bookends. The pair have definitely seen better days but are a great reminder of the ingenuity of making a pair of tennis shoes into a skate. We have found them to be excellent bookends. We have found the price guidance tool is not an accurate comparison of Low to High pricing on the platform. We price our pieces competitively and take great pride in presenting exceptional pieces and many times include additional materials and respected craftsmanship. If you have questions about descriptions, pricing or provenance please feel free to contact us for additional information.
