THIS AWESOME COBBLERS SHOE STRETCHER WAS MANUFACTURED BY “THE MAGIC POLISH COMPANY” OF LEICESTER, ENGLAND AND DATES BACK TO THE LATE NINETEENTH OR EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY. THE MECHANISM WORKS BY INSERTING THE END WITH "WING" TYPE PROTRUSIONS, INTO THE TOE OF THE SHOE, AND TURNING THE HANDLE AT THE OTHER END OF THE CENTRAL THREADED ROD, THE "WINGS" THEN SLOWLY WIDEN UNTIL THEY ARE STRETCHING THE SHOE TO THE REQUIRED DEGREE. I THINK THAT THE OTHER HANDLE AND RIBBED PIECE OF IRON ON THE ROD ARE FOR ADJUSTING TO THE LENGTH OF THE SHOE, SO THAT THE RIBBED PIECE FITS INTO THE HEEL, AND EFFECTIVELY LOCKS THE CONTRAPTION IN PLACE. THE MAGIC POLISH COMPANY WAS FAMOUS FOR ALL MANNER OF POLISHES, DUBBIN, PAINT AND SHOE DYES. THE STRETCHER MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 37cm LONG, AND HAS A LOVELY OLD PATINATION AND SURFACE RUST TO THE METAL. THE STRETCHING END HAS THE LEGEND ON ONE SIDE:- "SOLE MAKERS MAGIC POLISH CO. LTD. LEICESTER ENGLAND", AND THE OTHER:- "MAGIC". LOVELY PIECE FROM BRITAIN'S INDUSTRIAL PAST - EXTREMELY DISPLAYABLE AND PERFECTLY USABLE FOR STRETCHING SHOES!
