Before zippers and slip-ons, high-button and laced boots were everyday wear, and shoe merchants handed out little button hooks to customers with their name stamped right on the handle. This one carries the name of its shoe store, a small piece of advertising history that collectors of old shoe-store giveaways, sewing and dressing-table tools, and country-store memorabilia enjoy. It looks great in a shadow box or a drawer of vintage tools.
