"Dad, what a piece of iron"

We clear the rubble for the construction site, remove construction waste and part of the soil, and then a little one comes across a find that puzzled him. Asks what is this piece of iron, strange design and incomprehensible purpose?

Remembered grandfather

As I saw, I immediately remembered my grandfather, who, after the war, did not part with tarpaulin boots, and it was 70th year in the yard and there was no shortage of civilian footwear (albeit diversified).

But he just didn't recognize anything but boots, and this instrument was in his use. He will put on a tarpaulin and a heel with a sole with nails. I explained to my son what the "piece of iron" is for, and how it was used, surprised, even looked at his sneakers, probably presented them on a padded sole. The story had two unexpected sequels, more about them below.

Riddle for the wife

We arrived home, I tell my wife how we were taken aback by the rarity, I show the photo, and I ask what do you think it is? And she, this is a catman, a little hoe, laughed, shoe paw I say it.

And she immediately rememberedthat my uncle had the same, he was a shoemaker, he tamped his heels on her. Well, I say, otherwise a hoe, a hoe.

It turns out it's worth the money

For the sake of interest, I decided to look on the Internet if there is such a rarity there, and was surprised to find that this item exhibited for 1 thousand. rubles under the heading vintage. In business, there really forged, handmade. It looks like such nonsense, but it costs money, I knew that old things are valuable, but to sell the paw, did not expect.

Admit it, you guessed right away that this is a shoe tool or also thought for a dong? Subscribe, new story coming soon!
