Vintage Mrs. Day’s Ideal Baby Shoes – Style 0 – with Original Box & Inserts – Circa 1950s

An exquisite, museum-quality pair of vintage "Crib Shoes" from the renowned Mrs. Day’s Ideal Baby Shoe Co. of Danvers, Massachusetts. These are Style 0 (infant size), featuring a soft-sole construction designed for the "pre-walker" stage. While these are "New Old Stock" and have never been worn, they show noticeable staining and spotting that has occurred naturally over time while in storage. This patina is common for delicate textiles of this age (70+ years). • Details: The staining is visible on the satin-finish fabric and lace. Please see photos for a close-up look at the coloration. • Packaging: Includes the original cardboard base and the clear acetate lid. The lid has preserved the shape of the shoes well, though the box itself shows some age. • Inserts: Includes the original factory paper heel forms marked "Style 0."
