For sale is a highly collectable, authentic late Victorian to early 20th-century novelty shoe horn shaped as a lady's leg wearing a garter. This charming piece of antique vanity hardware features fine, crisp engraved detailing on the front face, including a stylized floral motif on the calf and a traditional triangular pattern representing a garter line. The wide "thigh" section serves as the shoe horn spoon, tapering down to a sculpted high-heeled boot handle.{C}

The item is unbranded with no visible maker's marks, which is typical for generic luxury travel souvenirs and vanity novelties of the era. Most likely manufactured in England.
