The Florsheim Imperial Shell Cordovan 93605 "Gunboats", believe they're from 1968-72, found locally, basically sat in a box unworn. I put some Topy's on them to protect the sole and a brass toeplate. Before pic with the wooden sole and the 88 Brass Nails, which gave the shoe the famous name, "Suicide Heel". They don't make em like they used to. Good brushing, some Saphir overnight, another brushing, and brand new.
