    Some of the shoe lasts I have gathered up over the years. The two on the left hand side of the third pic are knee lasts, used on the lap with changeable feet. My favourite one is the example in the middle of second pic which has a detachable heel part with two sizes which can be changed around.

      I was gonna ask the same question lptools. Looks to me like it might have been something mounted such to be 'revolvable' (to a workbench or whatever) but its 'blades' also seem to have a unique shape unlike most of the others here...??

      COOL old tools, once more, Irishcolletor. !!!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

      Thanks to all for looking in and to lptools and AnythingObscure for your comments. That last would have had a metal frame to turn in which I don't have but I saw one being used in a wooden box which had notches cut in the sides of it for the projections to sit into. Not sure why the feet are more curved on this one. Not all lasts have flat feet and the degree of curvature seems to vary.
