1940's UK Dack shoe design's

[GavinDack]

Hello all

Was not sure where to post this Thread. I am looking for any information into Dack shoes from back in the 1940's Leicester UK and not the well known Matthew Dack shoes. Basically I am a Dack and my grandfather (Leo Thomas John Dack) who passed before my time was a shoe inventor, designer and manufacturer.

I have been passed down some of the designs over the years and was hoping to learn some history if anyone here would know of any. My father also passed when I was young so I don't really have anyone to ask. I have found US patents in my grandfathers name on google too.

Please see below for some of the airbrushed / brush painted designs I have.

Sorry if this comes across as an odd post but was told a few members on here are vintage shoes collectors so was wondering if anyone has any information no matter how big or small.

Any information would be very much appreciated or any ideas of what I could do to retrieve more information.

@mariusscott and @tonylamer know a lot about Dacks. Maybe they can help.
