Description: Vintage Dutch Carved Wooden Shoes Children's Clogs FMC Franeker Holland READ ALL This pair of vintage Firma M. Cats hand carved wooden children's clog shoes will make a great addition to your collection. They features classic Dutch wooden clog shoe styling with a painted exterior and transferred images of a boy holding a fishing pole and a girl holding a bouquet of flowers. The inside of each shoe includes what appears to be the original sticker brand labels for FMC Firma M. Cats with the location address of Molensteeg 16 Franeker which is a city in the Netherlands. I am unsure of the age, however from what I have read online FMC was in business from 1933-1977. I am guessing that they were made as souvenirs but I cannot guarantee. The pair does have heavy wear from age and handling so please read complete details below and review photos closely for condition. Thank you and enjoy!
