1775062567Code 721 Multi-ToolsRare antique boot lifter with multi-tools, typical of the Victorian era, from the second half of the 19th century and intended for cavalry officers or traveling gentlemen.
Unopened box dimensions: 5.3 x 4 x 31.8 cm – 2.2 x 1.7 x 12.5 in.
The mahogany case isn't just a container; it hinges open to form a sturdy V-shaped base that rests on the floor. By pressing down on the platform with one foot and wedging the heel of the other boot into the opening, tall, narrow shoes can be easily removed. Brass latches secure the structure during use.
Inside are two multifunctional metal tools that, when opened into a T-shape, reveal large curved hooks for pulling boots through the eyelets, a corkscrew for bottles, a gimlet or auger for drilling holes in wood, a button puller for gaiters, a leather awl, and a screwdriver bit.
This type of travel equipment was very popular among the bourgeoisie and aristocracy, and was part of the so-called "campaign sets" designed to be compact and indestructible during travel and long journeys, combining in a single piece everything needed for boot care and daily needs.
