Just a couple of stones today! :)

Little different find, and didn't come in the mail...
But check out this find, think they're from around 1968-1972 - back when Florsheim made some superbly hand crafted shoes.
These are Florsheim Imperial Longwing shoes, "gunboats", all Goodyear welted, hand crafted, 89 nails in the heel from my research and a V-Cleat, called a "suicide" heel.
Found these very dusty, stuffed in a box locally, used some shoe cleaner first, let them dry, then a good coat of Saphir Cordovan Cream and let it sink in for 24 hours. Then a good brushing.
Check these beauties out - look like they've never been worn.
Florsheim Cordovan Imperial Longwing Bluchers, number is 93605, V-Cleat, quality of these in the day is better than Alden ( I have several Alden shoes and boots) and many others in my opinion.
Behold!

My dad would only wear Florsheim. Said they were the most comfortable and longest wearing.
I bought some Florsheim shoes more modern than the ones previously mentioned. They had poly urethane soles and the soles disintegrated on me at a wedding.
Chunks of rubber all over the place! A big laugh at the wedding. The uppers stayed in one piece.
I will never buy them again!
Man o man tim you must have been really tearing up that dance floor.
I just took stock of what I have coming in the mail - it's a little eclectic (maybe):
- Coway electronic bidet toilet seat
- 3 Magnetic soap holders
- Le Labo beard oil
- 2 bars of beard conditioner (hum if you know the tune!! lol)
- Kanayama 30K Strop
- Credit card bill...
James.
Who says fat old white guys can't dance?
My dad always wore gunboats, and worked for Goodyear.
Nice find Andrew..look brand new..
