I have been lucky enough to get hold of two of these hand made silver plated spoon warmers from a private collection, rare to find one but unbelievable to find two; each is listed separately (the other: Item # 37866.
This example is In the shape of a leather shoe, having a hand-chased body with invisibly hinged lid opening, and all sitting on a hobnail boot base with heel.
This one has a full mark to the back of the boot for the silversmith, Thomas Latham & Ernest Morton of Birmingham in c. 1880.
Excellent condition measuring 6 1/2'' x 2 3/4'' x 3 3/4'' high.
