Description
A cobbler's metal heel stamp composed of a metal dowel and two prongs which affix to the sides of a heel shaped stamp.
History
The cobbler’s heel stamp, a specialized tool typically made of metal with a flat or patterned striking surface, is used to imprint or compress the heel area of a shoe during construction or repair.
The heel stamp is struck with a cobbler’s hammer, often over a shoe anvil or last, to shape stacked leather heels or apply decorative marks.
