Cast Iron Beetle / Cricket Boot Jack with Advertising
This is a good looking boot jack. It's
marked W H Van Dusen, which I imagine was the name of a shoe store or shoe
manufacturer looking to remind you where to buy your next pair of boots each
time you take the old ones on and off. The casting and condition are
super!Very Good . . . . . .$195.00 SOLD!

your boots to mine that the delicate casting meant not too many have survived.

Victorian Decorated Cast Iron Boot Jack
Here is an antique cast iron boot jack with a
great looking decoration much like Victorian hardware. Note that it is a double
ender for different size boots. Also note the
reinforcing cast into the base on the underside. A quality piece obviously made by a
quality outfit from the Victorian era---Charles Parker perhaps, or some other well
known and
respected maker of cast iron products from the 19th century. The "Beetle" form
bootjack may be
common, but this stylized version with decoration that resembles Victorian
Hardware is anything but and displays a quality of casting not often seen. Different
and very nice!
Fine . . . . . .$150.00 SOLD!
Antique
Double End Cast Iron Boot Jack
This too looks to be English. It has a boot puller
at each end, a somewhat unusual feature. The casting depicts a
Roman looking warrior with headgear on. Different!
Fine . . . . . $195.00 SOLD!
Antique
Cast Iron Floral Design Boot Jack This bootjack
has a lot of decoration cast into the top. I assume the hole in the tail
is for hanging it up. Most boot jacks, but not all have this feature. Great
character.
Good . . . . .$295.00 SOLD!
Patented Mechanical Antique
Boot Jack This interesting
cast iron must have been designed to be used in a place where boots were tough to get
off or were very dirty, and you needed all the help you could get without
getting dirty or tired. It has a nice
casting, and is in
nice condition!
Good +. . . . . .$295.00 SOLD!
Twisted Snakes Figural Brass Boot Jack This
cast brass bootjack has an
interesting figural theme of two twisted or intertwined snakes. The two holes
between the bodies
have the interesting feature of sawtooth-like teeth, much like a corn sheller
might have. This bootjack came out of a farm / engine show in Iowa about
15 years ago and has been in this collection since then. It is a nice casting and has good detail. Is
it a combo tool corn sheller or isn't it? Fine . . . . . .$395.00 SOLD!
Fine . . . . . .$195.00 SOLD!
Antique
Cast Iron Boot Jack / Combo Tool / Can Opener / Wrench / Nail Puller / Corn Sheller? This is a
very unusual form for a bootjack. A combo tools that incorporates a
wrench, can opener, hammer, tack puller and what could well be used as a corn sheller in the center
cutout portion. It might just be part of the wrench idea, but those
graduated steps sure look similar to some early hand held corn shellers I have
seen.
Fine . . . . . .$495.00 SOLD!
Good . . . . . .$145.00 SOLD!
Good +. . . . . . $75.00 SOLD!
Good +. . . . . .$95.00 SOLD!

Cast
Iron Patented / Mechanical Boot Jack
This example is in super nice
condition. Put the heel of one foot in the end and step on the foot behind
and it would grab the heel of your boot so you could pull it off.
Hopefully it was not after a couple of beers and that you could still do the toe-to-toe walk. A super nice piece! Fine . . . . . .$195.00 SOLD!
Cast
Iron Patented Combination Shoe Shine Stand / Boot Jack
This cast iron combination bootjack / shoe shine stand
is a great design.. This one must have been expensive to produce and
appealed to just a limited clientele. I bet not many were made. Have
you ever seen another?
Fine . . . . . $295.00 SOLD!
Cast
Iron Boot Jack

you ever seen another?
Fine . . . . . .$195.00 SOLD!
Antique
Mechanical Twister Boot Jack
This bootjack is in super nice
condition.I see no patent or other info, but it dates from the late 20th
century if not earlier. It has a great twisting action to operate it.
These tall mechanical ones are kind of hard to photograph full view, so be sure
to click on the pic to enlarge the thumbnail image, and click on all the other
links to see all the detailed close-up views as well. Fine . . . . . .$175.00 SOLD!
Rare
Mechanical Cast Iron Beetle / Cricket Boot Jack
This is a very rare and super nice condition
boot jack. This mechanical boot jack with a wooden arm and toe holder is a hard to find variation of
the beetle boot jack. The beetle is a common theme for a boot jack but
this is a rare and seldom found variation There is patent info and
a date on the toe portion, but it is hard to make out in the pictures. Not
one you are likely to see offered for sale again. Very unusual and highly
recommended! Fine . . . . . .$250.00 SOLD!
Antique Mechanical Boot Jack
This antique mechanical bootjack is in super nice
condition. I do not see any patent info, but it is a well done, and
obviously a manufactured piece. The overall quality is super. Rare
and desirable!!!Fine . . . . . .$295.00 SOLD!
Patented
"STAR" Cast Iron Boot Jack w/ Boot Cleaner
Here is a very rare, and very graphic, boot jack
and boot cleaner all in one. It has several different size heel openings,
and the cleaning brush is in near new condition. The name and patent info
is cast into the circular base. This is a great bootjack that I have only
seen one other example of in over 20 years of looking. Highly recommend!
Fine . . . . . .$600.00 SOLD!
Cast Iron
Folding Pistol "The Bull Dog Boot Jack" This
is a clever idea for a folding bootjack. The casting is outstanding.
Very Good . . . . . .$75.00 SOLD!
"Phelps,
Dodge & Palmer" Figural Folding Pistol Bootjack This
is another neat variation of a folding cast iron bootjack. Phelps, Dodge &
Palmer was a Chicago shoe wholesaler that began operations in 1864. This
would have been a great marketing idea---make it easy for the customer to get
his boots off and maybe you could sell him on a new pair.
Very Good . . . . . .$55.00 SOLD!
Cast
Iron Figural Folding Pistol Bootjack
This bootjack has advertising for a shoe store in Philadelphia. It like all the
others offered here is legit, and vintage, not like those found on eBay or in
the local shop.
Good . . . . . .$70.00 SOLD!
Patented
Mechanical "Star" Boot Jack
This bootjack is in nice condition. It
represents another better idea that was granted a patent, but was probably found
to be lacking in practicality by the general public, and was a short lived entry
into the market before the maker / manufacturer just fold up and closed their
doors. Fine . . . . . .$225.00 SOLD!
This is just a sample of the many
