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.
If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

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!
