I’m guessing Rent a Cop, but will have to consult the noob archives.

 

[drlivingston]

That would have been my second guess.

Lucky Lady?

After 3 gentle coats of Bick 4, gently putting shoe trees into them and then another 2 coats of Bick 4:

Starting to come back alive. These were so mis-shaped, dry, moldy and had probably never seen shoe trees ever. Still a long journey until finished!

Read your caption then saw only the first pic on my screen., in my head I was saying "hmm....good work." Looking good though man!

This is one of the few pairs you really have to be careful with due to age. If I had just rammed the shoetrees in when they were fresh from Goodwill, they may have cracked. These are probably going to be my best work, restoration wise. I may even consider sending them out to Alden for new insoles and rubber heeltabs.

Guess the maker.

Think outside the box, nothing special just cool.

H&M?

Saphir renovateur/Venetian shoe creme. Then Polishing a shade darker would be a quick fix for flipping. But if keeping it will be a multi hour investment but "she'll" be worth it. Who's the maker?!

Unfortunately, they're not my size so I'll be flipping them. They're Crockett & Jones though.

Should point out that the company is French. Might be easier.
