IF YOU SEE THIS AD, THE ITEM IS AVAILABLE AND THE PRICE IS FIRM.
Nunn-Bush has been making quality shoes for over a century.
On offer is this lovely pair of Chocolate Brown Bluchers in size 9.5EE.
They feature a half-leather lining, leather outsoles, and nailed Biltrite
rubber heels. They are constructed using the Goodyear-welt process (the way a
quality shoe is made) that permits repairs. The shoes have been fully cleaned,
conditioned and polished and the leather is soft and in excellent condition.
Grab a quality pair of shoes for a fraction of a lousy pair of Chinese shoes
from the local mall!
Shoe trees are NOT included!

This outstanding pair of Hartt “Gold Bond” Wingtip Derbies in 9D is now up for
grabs!
They feature full-grain calf, FULL-leather linings, Goodyear-welted
double-leather soles, nailed Biltrite rubber heels, and new laces. Outers,
inners and soles are all in excellent, almost-new condition. These shoes have
recently been professionally cleaned, conditioned and polished.
Hartt, of Fredericton, New Brunswick, was one of the great names in Canadian
shoemaking. The Hartt Boot and Shoe Company Ltd. was founded in 1898. The
company was eventually acquired by the A.H. Marston Corp. (who already
controlled the famous Dack’s brand) in 1957 or 1958.
The decision was soon made to move all production for both brands to the Hartt
factory, so all Canadian Dack’s or Hartt shoes were henceforth produced in that
same factory. The two brands were very similar and offered many identical
products. The Dack’s brand was sold via the company’s own stores in major
centres and at Eaton’s, while the Hartt name was offered at Simpson’s and also
marketed by way of smaller, independent shoe stores throughout the country.
Sadly, as in so many other industries, Canadian production stopped altogether
in 1999.
The "Gold Bond" line was made in England by Cheaney.
These shoes would have sold for $350-400 over two decades ago! So buy these
excellent English-made shoes for the bargain price of $125, instead of a crappy
pair of Chinese shoes from the mall for twice as much!
Shoe trees NOT included.
