Description: | This complicated looking device is a cobbler's metal punch. A cobbler is someone who makes or repairs shoes. The punch has 2 adjustable pieces that seem to set the position of the punch. There are 3 points at the tip of the punch. A larger point sits in the middle while 2 smaller points are on 1 side. This arrangement suggests that this punch is for making the pattern on brogue shoes. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work living in the North East | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
