I did suggest to the seller that they were football boot studs, but someone else beat me to it - mine is the second note. I wouldn't say they were 19th century - my husband and brothers used to hammer them into their football boots probably until the mid 50s. In fact we found a bag of them in my FIL's garden shed when we cleared the house after he died. Put them in the trash.
At least the seller happy being corrected. Jean in Poole, Dorset, UK - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected]
