Great pair of shells. Anyone who Talks down on Aldens needs referred to this thread.Originally Posted by greekgeek
These actually aren't Aldens. I love Aldens but they aren't in the same world as these. I actually wanted to see if someone could help me identify the maker/age of these. They are Brooks English made in Great Britain.
Most of the old Brooks English I've seen were made by Church's though these don't really look like any of the others I've seen. They're on a soft chisel last. The inside is actually in good shape. Here are some pics of the soles and inside:
